Fostering Hope in Times of Global Uncertainty

Ana Karen San Emeterio, Soul work, mixed media, 2024.

"Fostering Hope in Times of Global Uncertainty" is an essay that addresses what is at the center of my art therapy practice and what I believe is essential to the therapeutic work done at this moment in time when there is global uncertainty and suffering. It was featured in The Wise Therapy Spotlight December 2024 Issue from the Academy of Therapy Wisdom and is free to download!

Are you a therapist too, what do you place at the center of your therapeutic work?

***The words in the image say:

"How do we keep our inner fire going -making it expansive even- our hearts soft and open, transmuting these seeds of hope into a forest when what we have to work with seems to be drylands, echoes of pain, and windstorms of uncertainty?"
