The aim of this qualitative study was to understand women's experience of becoming a mother through art-making process. New mothers often experience adjustment hardships due to a mismatch between pre-existing stories and their real lived experiences of becoming a mother (White & Epston, 1990) as well as an overflow of contradictory emotions (Boulton, 1983). However, the women's struggles during the peri-natal period has received little attention and research (Fahey & Shenassa, 2013). In order to support mothers' transition and gain empowerment, the eight-phase art therapy protocol was implemented to explore how art-making can deepen our understanding in becoming a mother. This study was a twofold process of sharing my personal narrative and artworks on becoming a mother, followed by those of three art therapist mothers who have given birth within the past three years. Three mothers in this study were given up to eight weeks to complete eight-phase art therapy protocol. The data were collected using face-to-face interviews, journals, memos, and follow-up emails. Feminist narrative analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Findings suggest that engaging in visual processing through given art therapy protocols allowed mothers to reflect, resonate and possibly shift some perspectives on their pre-conceived thoughts on motherhood and gain empowerment over their own journey of growing into a mother. The findings shed light on how engaging in the eight-phase art therapy protocols allowed mothers to transfer complex emotions to an image, providing a sense of safety and deeper understanding to self-acceptance and growth. Although the number of mothers in this research was limited, the positive experiences and sense of empowerment expressed by the participants and myself yields to further implementation and development of the art therapy protocols in the future.
