EIGHT - Dr. Emma van Daal

Dr. Emma van Daal, an infant and child #psychotherapist and arts therapist in Melbourne, Australia, shares her journey supporting individuals of all ages through life's hurdles, mental health challenges, and relationship dynamics. Passionate about trauma-informed care, Emma's own lived experience with an eating disorder, sparked her quest for alternative healing methods. Exploring diverse fields from fine arts to #psychology, Emma earned a Professional Doctorate in Therapeutic Arts Practice. Through innovative arts-making methods, she delved into the experience of anorexia in her doctoral research, yielding a groundbreaking graphic novel. Emma's work with traumatised populations, such as refugees and survivors of domestic violence, underscores the importance of early intervention with young children and parents/caregivers, and trauma-informed care. In this enlightening episode, Emma examines infant consciousness, emphasising the profound impact of early experiences and relationships on lifelong well-being. Join us as we unravel the transformative potential of therapeutic arts in nurturing consciousness and holistic well-being. #childpsychology #neurodiverse #arttherapy To connect: Web: https://theplaystudio.com.au/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-emma-van-daal-b4a4281a/?originalSubdomain=au https://dremmavandaal.au/ I hope you enjoy this episode, please leave 5 Star review under it! #Perspectives #ArtTherapy #ActiveKreative #Podcast #CreativityForChange #Spirituality #SelfDiscovery #TransformationalJourney #UnlockPotential #EnlighteningConversations 💖 Interested in working with me as an art therapist or therapeutic art facilitator who can guide you and support you in expressing yourself creatively & therapeutically?
