A whiteboard is the most essential tool in Miki’s therapy office (besides tissues…). Mapping out patients’ thoughts & feelings on the whiteboard helps to visually understand what’s happening inside. And even if we meet just a few times, patients always have those whiteboard photos to refer back to.
When regular life came to a screeching halt in March 2020, Miki began sharing her whiteboard drawings on Facebook to help people manage anxiety and depression in lockdown. Whiteboard Psychology was born.
Indu and Miki collaborated on creating a series specifically for healthcare providers and frontline workers. Other whiteboard slideshows put names to the new emotions many of us have felt throughout the roller coaster of pandemic life.
We hope these whiteboard slideshows will help everyone feel less alone and gain some tools for managing mental health.
