Join Paula and I as we answer your questions about the field of knitting and mental health in this bonus Q&A episode of the Why I Knit podcast. Apologies that the audio quality isn’t as good as usual for this episode, we tried out a new method of recording and had a few technical issues.
The questions we cover are:
- Have you ever used knitting and EMDR together in a session and how helpful was it?
- Does knitting fit into art therapy?
- How were knitting and handicrafts used to help WWI soldiers with shellshock?
- Has hobby-based occupational therapy fallen out of favour?
- How to take overthinking and ruminating out of craft
- How have you used knitting in your own therapy?
We’ll be back at the end of the month with a Book Club episode!
