Healing Self-Expression Through Languages & Art | Jessica Sarlandie | Words Off Limits 1


In today’s episode,  Jessica and I discuss healing self-expression in a non-native language, the idea of authority as a hindrance for self-expression and art therapy and languages as a healing tool.

Notes from ep. 1 of Words Off Limits with Jessica Sarlandie

  • How being an authority in a native language limits our self-expression in a non-native language.
  • The importance of being flexible in our language learning journey.
  • How to combine creative expression and language learning.
  • The impact of focusing more on the process than on the product in learning and in the creative expression.
  • Devaluation of creative/linguistic expression that doesn’t fit the parameters stablished by authority.
  • Judgment of other people’s self-expression.
  • Art therapy as an outlet to express strong emotions.
  • How languages can be healing
  • Being mindful of the relationship we have with the language we learn to see if there is an imbalance.
  • The reciprocity in the relationship with the language
  • Identity shifts and expression

In episode 1 we discuss:

  • [6:22] How positioning yourself as an authority figure as a teacher in your native language impacts how you express yourself in a non-native language.
  • [13:07] Art therapy as a way to express things without using your mind and heal what comes up.
  • [14:40] The importance of focusing more on the process than on the product when learning a language.
  • [16:43] Focusing on the process opens the creative process to everyone an not only the professionals or experts.
  • [17:38] What is acceptable expression of art forms/languages comes from authority figures outside of ourselves.
  • [21:41] What happens when we loose the fear of being judged
  • [26:00] How languages can be healing
  • [29:47] When we see the language as a person we have a relationship with, we can create a balance and reciprocity in the relationship
  • [36:05] The identity shift and expression.
