Lead singer from the great indie band Ellery, Tasha Golden, is also a scientific researcher at John Hopkins' International Art+ Mind Lab on the subject of Art's impact on Health.
Touring the world's stages Tasha encountered many people who'd come to her after shows to share with her previously untold stories of pain and trauma. It stuck with her. What is it about music, about the poetry of lyrics, about a stage, that makes people comfortable sharing things they'd never even told their partners or a therapist before?
So she did a PhD (as you do) and specialized her research on whether word-based arts such as music, creative writing or poetry, can be alternative means to express and process trauma, pain, and life.
This was an amazing chat. How many people do you know who are both accomplished artists and scientists? You'll hear singing, poetry, you'll hear touching personal stories and impactful outputs from scientific research on Art's impact on our mental health.
A very complete and moving episode before a little summer break.
Enjoy!
