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!

If you’d like to learn more about how to use knitting for your self-care, check out our course Self-Care One Stitch at a Time.
