Description

“When you express yourself non-verbally, it’s really different from when you try to put something into words. And so you discover things that you couldn’t have discovered any other way.” – Judy Rubin Judy Rubin didn’t just practice art therapy — she helped shape the field. In this intimate conversation, The Art Lady reflects on her naïve beginnings as a school teacher, her transformative work with children in psychiatric care, and the discovery of rich emotional experiences that could only be shared outside the limitations of language. As a pioneer at the intersection of mental health and the arts, Rubin reminds us why art touches places words cannot reach. Brought to you by Psychotherapy.net, the home of timeless and timely conversations in mental health.
