Dr. Girija Kaimal - How Imagination and Creative Works Help Us Survive and Thrive

Dr. Girija Kaimal, professor and chair of the Creative Arts Therapies department at Drexel University, emphasizes the importance of creative expression as a natural human capacity. She recalls how a single discouraging comment can silence someone’s artistic voice for life, underscoring the lasting impact of teachers and caregivers. Creativity, she explains, is not about producing masterpieces but about authentic communication and self-reflection. Whether through art, music, movement, writing, or tinkering, expressive practices lower stress, foster connection, and serve as mirrors that help us better understand ourselves and make healthier choices.
