Transforming suffering: Helping clients reduce anxiety and depression through Buddist philosophy utilizing art therapy/Workshop/Presenter: Katherine Jackson, PhD, ART-BC
Anxiety and depressive disorders are on the rise exponentially in the United States (Hanh, 2015; Moon, 2016). Clients seeking mental health services are seeking relief from the suffering of anxiety and depression that plague the current times. Buddhist tenets found in Buddhism, a philosophy born out of Asia, can help with the suffering of mental health struggles. Utilizing the Four Noble Truths, and The Eightfold Path of Buddhist philosophy, individuals can recognize particular struggles that create blocks to wellness (Hahn, 2015; Keltner, 2009). Individuals will utilize artist trading cards, psychoeducation, and mindfulness to work on liberation from anxiety and depression that can benefit clients. This innovative technique and worldview can help individuals perceive differently and break out of maladaptive habituated patterns of thinking and behaving.
