Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

We explore the benefits of art therapy and how it can benefit those with ADHD with artist and creative care facilitator, Andrea Krakovsky, along with one of her clients who happens to be a member of the Take Control ADHD community.

Show Notes

This episode was a delightful accident.

It started with a conversation with one of our fantastic community members, Shoshanah Blaiss, how casually mentioned that she was running late for her session with her art therapist, and ended with a connection to that very artist, learning about her work, her process, and the incredible value that comes with embracing art as a channel to connect with ourselves across the neurodiversity spectrum.

Andrea Krakovsky is a teaching artist in Georgia whose work helps her clients to heal through the creative process. This week, Andrea leads us through that journey of healing through creativity — whether you believe you're creative or not — and how the physical connection with the media can help you learn about yourself while finding grounding in your ADHD, anxiety, and more.
