Episode Synopsis

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." — Ludwig Wittgenstein
In part one, I explored the history of animation; in part two, I focus on how animation specifically addresses mental health issues. I start by discussing how animation facilitates communication for individuals with low literacy or special educational needs. Next, I examine its applications in supporting those facing anxiety, depression, or recovery from substance abuse. Finally, I highlight how animation can enhance the growing field of psychoeducation, making complex concepts more accessible for both trainee therapists and clients.
