Beyond Talk Therapy: Creative Healing for Midlife
Manage episode 493642865 series 3672503
Grace Chan, a marriage and family therapist who burned out twice before age 25, shares her unique approach to therapy that goes far beyond traditional talk therapy. In this conversation, she explores how creative arts therapy, brainspotting, and EMDR can help people in midlife navigate major transitions, heal from trauma, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Key topics covered:
- Why midlife brings unique therapeutic challenges (empty nest, infidelity, aging parents, divorce)
- How art therapy reveals what words cannot express
- Brainspotting vs. EMDR: innovative trauma healing approaches
- When and how to find the right therapist for you
- The power of neuroplasticity to rewire your brain at any age
- Why everyone deserves that one hour a week focused entirely on themselves
Whether you're considering therapy for the first time or looking for new approaches to long-standing issues, Grace offers practical insights on how different therapeutic modalities can help you become who you're truly meant to be.
