I commute 2 hours a day from the Castro Valley back to San Francisco. Recently, I’ve been getting into listening to podcasts…and it occurred to me…wouldn’t it be awesome if there was an art therapy podcast? Well…there isn’t, as far as I know. But I think I may have found the next best thing. Shrink Rap Radio hosted by Dr. Dave deals with a broad range of topics in relation to psychology. Anything from therapeutic doll making, to gestalt therapy, to American Sign Language for babies. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying, and I encourage anyone wanting a good psyc podcast to check this one out.
Dr. Dave also does another podcast called Wise Counsel, which I’ve also been getting into. He interviews some of psychology’s living greats like Yalom and Barlow. I know I’m probably just a psyc nerd, but I find it really exciting to hear these great thinkers who influenced modern psychology discuss their theories and their works.
I stand corrected! I’m very excited, and look foreward to checking out both these podcasts.
Thanks Melissa and Raymond!
wow, what a nice circle to end up back here and say thanks to all of you!
I enjoyed the Arts and Healing Podcast site and wound up discussing art and inspiration on the SARK forum!
*inspired*
The arts and healing website is great. I especially love their list of organizations that use the creative arts in a healing way. I still haven’t checked out the podcasts…but i’m sure i will have listened to at least one by the end of the week.
I just listened to the podcast through creative art therapy sessions, on dance/movement therapy. Dance/movement therapy seems so attuned to mindfulness…i will try to encourage some of the techniques mentioned on this podcast with my clients…especially the techniques geared towards reducing anxiety. Also, I love the newsletter Melissa! A well rounded, multi-modal understanding of creativity and how it can be used to encourage healing is a wonderful way to stay inspired and connected with others.
Thanks for introducing these resources!
This sounds really interesting to someone who isn’t even in the pysch field! You should totally start your own podcast – you would be awesome.
love your blog, and am very interested in the psych podcasts. never occurred to me to look for them – thank you for the info.
