Book of Feelings

I had the opportunity to collaborate with a group of women who specialize in personal wellness on a zine about mental health. The zine was distributed to girls along with a light discussion about the many ways we choose to successfully navigate our own mental health issues.

For my contribution, I spoke with Jon Sperry, PhD, who is a Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He lead me to research about about why we feel the emotions we do and what those emotions are actually trying to tell our brain.

I created an illustrative way to relay that information to girls and created a pin to accompany my piece of the project so that the girls could have a constant reminder to acknowledge their emotions while not letting those emotions get the best of them.
