In this episode, Ann and Matt explore what it means to be a therapist during a politically heavy and emotionally charged time. They talk honestly about the weight many clients are carrying, the impact on clinicians, and how to hold ethical, grounded, compassionate space without bypassing reality or burning out.
The conversation highlights how creativity and art-based processes can help regulate the nervous system, support emotional expression, and build resilience when the world feels overwhelming.
This episode is a reminder that steadiness is built and creativity is not extra, it’s essential.
