Drawing as a Path to Self-Discovery

If you’ve ever felt like you couldn’t find the words to express your anxiety, listen to this week’s episode of Woman Worriers, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Tori Press, creator of the popular Revelatori cartoons on Instagram and author of the new book I am Definitely probably Enough (I Think): Revelations on the Journey to Self-Love.

“The person who needs to accept me is me—and that’s where all the work of therapy has been.” — Tori Press

What’s going on inside you right now? Sometimes it’s hard to find the words. Sometimes it’s just hard to know. Therapy can help—but we can get insights from creative activities, too. This week, Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., interviews Tori Press—artist, author and anxious person—who left a career in graphic design and picked up a sketchbook and a set of markers. Today, her lighthearted cartoons about her experiences with mental health struggles and more have attracted hundreds of thousands of followers to her Instagram page, Revelatori. In this episode, she talks about how drawing has helped her explore her thoughts, gain insights and process feelings—and also what she has learned about therapy, living with anxiety and learning to love herself.
