Beyond Artist's Block, Season 2, Episode 8, Gina Cardillo, LPC:
Season 2, Episode 8

Today’s Guest: Gina Cardillo (she/her) is a licensed professional counselor, board-certified art therapist, and EMDR therapist in private practice in Philadelphia. She brings her training and experience from her first career in the art and design world into her clinical work, and is a practicing artist and musician outside of her role as a counselor. As an art therapist, Gina bases her work on the principle that art is itself a language and that all people are inherently creative. She guides her clients in using imagery and art-making to illuminate their innermost truths. She believes that by nurturing one’s creativity within any given medium, it allows an opportunity to uncover and develop a new side of oneself and to build a sense of mastery and empowerment.

SHOW TOPICS
  • How art therapy helps a therapist step into a client’s inner world
  • The interplay of different modes of art in art therapy
  • Helping clients confront and work directly with their inner critic through art therapy and EMDR
  • Discussing how EMDR 2.0 differs from traditional EMDR reprocessing
  • How “exiled parts” often hold our wounds and trauma, and how IFS (Internal Family Systems) can address this 
  • Therapy as a creative and improvisational art
“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.” —Kurt Vonnegut
