What can art do for us emotionally?

Season 7 · Episode 2

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 • Duration 41:53

Send us Fan Mail

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, hosts Lisa and Lauren sit down with Cathy Malchiodi, expressive arts therapist and psychologist, to explore one of the most fundamental questions about human creativity: what can art actually do for us emotionally?

Cathy draws on decades of experience to explain why art has been humanity's go-to healing tool long before psychology ever existed, and why the body, not just the mind, is central to that process. The conversation digs into the difference between being "creative" and being "expressive," why most of us stopped making art around age ten, and how "art wounds" from early experiences can follow us into adulthood. Lisa and Lauren also bring in their own observations from World Art Break Day, exploring why sitting down to make art alongside strangers unlocks surprisingly deep conversation and connection.

The episode also ventures into the challenges of our device-saturated world, the importance of getting people physically together, and the question of what, if anything, AI-generated art can offer the human spirit.

A thought-provoking listen for anyone who has ever said "I'm not an artist" and a reminder that you don't have to be.
