This week on Art Therapy in Process, we’re talking therapists’ favorite things from fidgets we actually use, to art supplies we swear by, to comfort items that somehow regulate everyone in the room. Somewhere along the way…we may have accidentally created a holiday shopping list…. and exposed the underground Pittsburgh Plant Trade.

It’s that time of year when therapists are holding space, dodging holiday chaos, and apparently tracking full moon energy like weather reports. We talk about what it’s really like being a therapist around the holidays, the emotional weirdness of moon cycles, and the therapy animals who somehow keep us grounded. A little humor, a little magic, and a lot of real talk.

Therapists tell ghost stories…. kind of. Ann and Matt swap tales from inpatient units, share community mental health horrors, and find the humor in the haunting parts of the job. Therapy gets spooky (and silly) in this Halloween episode of Art Therapy in Process.

This week, we dive into what it’s like to live inside a therapist’s brain: balancing parenting, creative expression, and emotional awareness all at once. Ann and Matt explore how personal art supports their growth as therapists and humans, the parallels between raising kids and holding space for clients, and why even the Muppets have something to teach us about emotional depth and humor.
