Draw something and feel better about your life. How is art therapy different from Painting with A Twist, other than less alcohol? We talk to Jenna from our friends Carve Your Own Path. She’s an accomplished psychotherapist and certified art therapist.

In this conversation, Nick Angeles, a nurse anesthetist, interviews Rachel Russell, an occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy. They discuss the importance of the mind-body connection in relation to pelvic floor health and overall well-being.

They emphasize the significance of relaxation techniques, particularly breathwork, in addressing pelvic floor dysfunction. Rachel emphasizes the long-term commitment required for pelvic floor therapy and the need for ongoing self-care.

Psychotherapist Rodney Long, LISW, is back with Nick Angelis, CRNA, to discuss mental health tech start ups like BetterHelp, Mindbloom, and FieldTrip.
