What if preparing meals could be therapeutic? What if we could use the process of meal planning and cooking to learn more about ourselves and our family dynamics? My guest, Julie Ohana, LMSW, helps individuals, families, and groups build self-awareness and healthy communication through the art of cooking.
What is culinary art therapy? Are some people more naturally inclined to find cooking therapeutic?
For those of us who cook just to "get it done," can we learn to enjoy and be soothed by the process of cooking a meal?
Did you know that smell is the sense that is most tied to memory? This means we can access all kinds of feelings and memories by interacting with food.
Looking for a more hands-on, experiential growth experience? Culinary art therapy provides real-time scenarios, interactions, and feedback, which is quite different than traditional talk therapy. You can connect with Julie and find more information about her work at www.culinaryarttherapy.com.
