MICRO EP: Fashion as creative expression
Loading player...
This micro episode is a fun experiment where I channel Bella Freud's "Fashion Neurosis" podcast to explore my own relationship with clothing and style. I dive into why fashion fascinates me as both a psychologist and a human being.
I explore clothing as a form of creative expression - like collaging with objects, colors, textures, and forms. It's a sensory and sensual experience that connects us to our material existence in this world. Fashion becomes a way to communicate identity, show which groups we belong to, and sometimes shield vulnerable parts of ourselves that don't feel safe.
I also confess to completely conforming to the psychologist stereotype of wearing lots of knitwear and cardigans. There's something about the maternal texture of knits - that cozy, warm embrace quality - that I hope translates into my therapeutic work. Sometimes embracing the superficial alongside the deep makes us more fully human.
