Katie Curran: How Creativity Helps Us Move Through Grief and Life
Today’s Guest: Katie Curran, MA, LMHCA, is a licensed mental health counseling associate located in Spokane, WA. She specializes in working with young adults, artists, grief, witchy folks, and identity/purpose struggles. She utilizes art, ritual, normalization, and alternative approaches to meet individuals where they’re at, recognizing that counseling is definitely not “one size fits all.”

Identifying the “language” we speak and using that language through therapy to be our most authentic selves
Fostering empathy for and humanizing people who are incarcerated and those facing addiction
The effect of grief on blocking the creative process, and how our art and soul co-conspire to help us face things directly
Seeing art-making as a somatic methodology for moving trauma through the body
