Demi Dawkins: The Peaceful Brain Art Book, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This is the ultimate self-soothing art guide designed to help neurodivergent creatives slow down, release overwhelm and find peace.

Created by Demi Dawkins, an artist with autism and ADHD, this book offers 55 sensory-safe art exercises you can use anytime your mind feels too loud. From releasing anxiety through colour mapping, to embracing uncertainty with non-dominant hand drawing, and welcoming hope and joy with gratitude spirals and affirmation posters, these creative exercises are perfect for ADHD and autistic creatives, as well as anyone with creative block or anxiety.

The introduction section includes scientific context on why art calms the mind and helps to soothe the nervous system, so you can understand how your brain works and why the exercises help release feelings of overwhelm. Each soothing creative exercise also includes a 'Therapist's insight' from counsellor and mental health expert Jovanna Penney, so you can understand your emotions while connecting with your creative side.
