This episode features the heart-wrenching story of Carrie and her unimaginable experience of being prayed upon by one of the people in which she should have been able to trust the most – her therapist and psychiatrist. This stunning story goes to the heart of dysfunction in psychiatric practice and the gaps we need to close in ethical behavior.
The group then discusses art therapy, imagery, and how art and creativity can be used as an antidote to trauma. Carries guides Nam through a therapeutic visualization exercise.
