Ep. 8 Release Emotional Overwhelm with Art-Based Mindfulness: A Step-by-Step Practice Guide

Feb 04, 2025

Have you ever felt so emotionally overwhelmed that you thought you might explode? What if you could transform that intense, bottled-up feeling into something healing and transformative?

In this episode, host Jodi Rose Gonzales guides you through the power of art-making to release emotional overwhelm. She shares practical steps, personal insights, and a powerful client story to show how creative expression can calm your nervous system, externalize emotions, and create space for healing.

Key Takeaways:

Externalizing Emotions: Art allows you to give your emotions a tangible form, helping you understand and process them more effectively.

Regulating Your Nervous System: The act of creating art can activate your parasympathetic nervous system, lowering stress and calming both your mind and body.

Gaining Insights Through Creativity: Beyond emotional release, art-making fosters self-awareness, helping you uncover hidden patterns, boundaries, and emotional needs for long-term healing.
