Different art materials tend to invite different experiences in the body.

Textile arts like embroidery, sewing, weaving, knitting, and crochet often involve rhythm, repetition, gradual building, and gentle tactile engagement. For some people, these qualities may support regulation, reduce rumination, and create space for reflection.

Before introducing any material, I encourage therapists to get curious about the client's relationship with it. Stitching may hold memories of comfort, family traditions, creativity, or culture, while for someone else it may bring up frustration or painful experiences.

The material itself is part of the intervention.
At the end of this carousel, I also share a simple textile art directive and ways to introduce it collaboratively in session.

I almost skipped this week’s drawing.

I’ve been sick, low on energy, and tempted to wait until I felt better. Instead, I decided to draw something simple: a napkin.

Not every week needs a masterpiece. Not every creative practice needs to be challenging. Sometimes showing up with 20% energy is still showing up.

This week’s cozy ugly object reminded me that creativity doesn’t have to be impressive to matter. A few wobbly lines, a simple drawing, and a small act of showing up can be enough.

Many therapists spend time looking for really good art prompts that would help clients to open up in session.

But after spending time reading art therapy research on materials, I keep coming back to the same idea:

The material matters.

A collage and a clay sculpture created from the exact same prompt may lead to very different experiences.

Collage often invites selection, organization, and working with existing images.

Clay often invites touch, pressure, shaping, and direct sensory engagement.

Neither material is better.

Neither material guarantees a particular outcome.

But different materials tend to invite different ways of interacting with ourselves, our memories, our bodies, and our creative process.

This is one reason I encourage therapists to spend time exploring materials with clients before focusing only on prompts.

Sometimes a client's response to the material tells us just as much as the artwork itself.

I'm curious:

What art material are you most drawn to lately?

In Week 8 of The Cozy Ugly Collection, we’re drawing a cozy ugly candle using our non-dominant hand and practicing something many of us struggle with, slowing down.

Candles don’t rush. They don’t perform. They simply offer warmth, presence, and enough light for the moment in front of them.

As we draw, we’ll explore how imperfect art can create space for rest, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation. This isn’t about making beautiful art. It’s about noticing what happens when we let go of perfection and allow ourselves to create anyway.

So grab your crayons, markers, or paints, and let’s add a cozy ugly candle to the table together.

Different art materials can create different emotional, sensory, and nervous system experiences.

Fluid materials like finger paint, watercolor, or clay may invite more movement, spontaneity, emotional expression, and sensory contact because they are harder to fully control.

More resistive materials like pencils, markers, or structured collage can sometimes feel safer, more organized, and cognitively manageable, especially for anxious, overwhelmed, or highly perfectionistic clients.

This doesn’t mean one material is ā€œbetterā€ than another.

Sometimes the clinical work is noticing: what clients gravitate toward, what feels unsafe, where control appears, where flexibility appears, and how the nervous system responds throughout the process.

Art therapy is not just about self expression. It is also about sensory experience, pacing, regulation, and meaning making through the creative process.

This is not my usual therapist content, but I wanted to give a shout out to another therapist and her dream of sharing her passion šŸ’œ

As much as we support our clients’ emotions and dreams, therapists work hard and deserve spaces to enjoy and fulfill our own dreams too.

My former supervisor, whom I’ve known for 10 years, has a business renting Korean traditional clothing at an affordable price for people in Los Angeles and Orange County to enjoy and experience hanbok.

Getting to wear hanbok again after so long felt really special, especially at a BTS concert surrounded by so much joy, music, and community. It felt even more meaningful knowing I was supporting another therapist’s small business along the way.

We support each other, and it matters šŸ’œ

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the art itself. It’s getting ourselves to begin.
I procrastinated all weekend, avoided it, overthought it… and then painted this tiny avocado late Sunday night and immediately felt better 😭
Apparently my nervous system did, in fact, need art.

05/16/2026

Sometimes the hardest part is not the art itself.
It’s the pressure before beginning.

This week in the Cozy Ugly Collection, we’re making a spoon and a fork while exploring what it might feel like to create at maybe… 60%.

Not perfectly.
Not intensely.
Just enough to begin.

I think nervous systems that have lived in pressure, perfectionism, burnout, or overthinking often experience starting as emotionally expensive.

But sometimes motivation comes after contact.
After touching the paper.
After making the first line.

✨ I’ve also been using Focused Spaceļæ¼ for gentle virtual coworking/body doubling sessions while creating and editing these videos. It’s been helping me stay off my phone and ease into creative work with less pressure.

Art therapy is not just about expression.

A prompt alone does not always create movement.

What often deepens the process is helping clients stay with the image long enough to build meaning, access emotional experience, and begin shifting the imagery itself.

This is one reason imagery rescripting can feel so powerful in art therapy.

Many clients already understand their patterns intellectually.
But insight alone does not always create change.

Through imagery rescripting, clients can begin to experience change visually, emotionally, and somatically, not just cognitively.

Small shifts in the image can create real shifts in the body.

This is where art therapy becomes more than expression.
It becomes experiential.

The opposite of survival mode is not just calm.

It’s also creativity, connection, exploration, and expression.

I started the Cozy Ugly Collection as a gentle practice of returning to creativity without pressure to perform or make something ā€œgood.ā€ Each week, I create one small imperfect object as a way to reconnect with my nervous system through play, texture, imagination, and expression.

Lately, I’ve also been using while creating. It’s a quiet virtual body doubling space that helps creativity feel less overwhelming and easier to begin, especially on days when my nervous system feels tired, distracted, or shut down.
