Therapy for creatives and artists
When your work comes from you, criticism of the work doesn't stay outside. That's not fragility — it's the occupational condition of making things, and it's worth having somewhere to put it.
What creatives bring
Blocks that don't respond to discipline. The particular exhaustion of turning something you love into something you're paid for. Comparison that's now industrialized by a phone. And the fear that whatever produced the good work might not come back.
Why I'm a reasonable fit
My background is in expressive arts — my MA is in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Expressive Arts Therapy. I use words, images, ideas and sound in sessions, and I'd rather work creatively than sit in a purely verbal exchange.
That said, we're doing therapy, not making art. Nobody is required to produce anything.
On the fear of losing it
A worry I hear often: that resolving the difficulty will take the work with it. In my experience the opposite is more common — what tends to go is the paralysis around the work, not the source of it.
The block and the work aren't the same thing.
