Using art to tell your story, and avoiding Paris Syndrome

Life Matters - Full program podcast - A podcast by ABC listen

They say to write/paint/sing what you know, and what do you know better than your own life? Narrative therapy allows us to tell our own stories in a way that empowers us and improves our mental wellbeing, and art is the perfect medium for those stories. We look at how to get creative with your life story and boost your mental health in the process.  The feeling of being disappointed by Paris is so common it has a name: 'Paris Syndrome'. And in the age of social media, more of our holiday destinations aren't meeting the expectations set by those perfect Instagram selfies. So how do you avoid being let down by your dream destination? Plus, how an online course could help you stop worrying and focus on the present.
