Art as Therapy with guests Caren Gagne and Pat Stamp

Studies have shown that engaging in creative activities like painting, music, and pottery can reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and activate the brain’s reward system, improving overall mental health.
In this episode of Ask Angela, we explore the transformative power of Art as Medicine—how creative expression can support emotional processing and nervous system regulation. I’m joined by guests Caren Gagne and Pat Stamp, who will share their experiences in using art as an individual therapeutic practice. Whether you’re an artist or just curious about the connection between creativity and healing, this conversation will illuminate the science behind why art is such a powerful tool for mental well-being.
