Wounded Healer Experiences in Art Therapy
Roots; Roses
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v37 n2 p76-82 2020
Mental health professionals who both provide services and effectively make use of them to address their own emotional or psychiatric challenges are called wounded healers. Despite the potential benefits of lived experience, these professionals often must contend with institutions and systems that are discriminatory. The authors use life-writing to address challenges -- stigma, disclosure, and role fluidity -- faced by wounded healers within educational and work environments.
