Transform Your Home and Your Mind: The Psychology Behind Interior Design with Anita Yokota

My guest today is psychologist-turned-interior-desiger, Anita Yokota. When she embarked on her career as a therapist and saw clients in their own homes, she began to comprehend the impact of their environments on their mental and emotional health. Her in-home visits exposed her to a variety of home environments, and she soon noticed a correlation between the state of a home and the emotional climate within it. This insight led her to help clients organize their living spaces, which in turn reduced tensions within the family. After 20 years in therapy, she made a pivot to her creative passion for interior design. She has created her own home therapy method, an approach that combines tangible organization with cognitive feelings, and she's just released her first book, also called Home Therapy. In our conversation, Anita shares story after story about how to heal yourself and your relationship using intentional design. Want to finally define your style?
