Creator Month: Expressive Arts Therapist Lisa Daughters
“Whole worlds exist in people that they feel they have to keep hidden away in order to present only the acceptable parts. Those of us facing the world in a stigmatized body don’t often get away without complex feelings about that body. And those messages that build shame only make it harder for a lot of people to trust themselves, advocate for their own needs, and I believe they deserve to take up all the space (physical and emotional).” » Lisa Daughters
