Episode 16: The Journey Begins with You
For this week's conversation I am joined by Creative Arts Psychotherapist, Nicollette Williams. The first in her field in Barbados, and amongst the first in the Caribbean, Nicollette shares how she uses dance, drama, music, art and play therapy as psychological interventions and on paths to healing. Nicollette discusses the power of non-verbal therapy and the way in which she helps her clients and patients tap into their subconscious to begin with the 'here' and 'now' and make choices in line with their needs and desired pathways forward.
