Artists of All Varieties
Getting on the path toward full creativity…
Many artists – writers, musicians, actors, and painters – have been conditioned to believe that psychological work takes away the fuel needed to being creative. In fact, the opposite is true.
You may think that talking about your deeper hopes, fears, or conflicts will take away from the motivation for your art. It actually allows you greater freedom to express and explore issues in BOTH your artistic and personal life.
It gives you the kind of Meryl Streep range in your inner world that allows your artistic work to truly thrive. And as a side bonus, you’re happier, more functional, and more centered in your everyday life, too.
Want to be more expressive in your personal and artistic life?
When most people think of mental health, they picture someone struggling with problems. They don’t see an opportunity to learn how to live more creatively. And, of course, why should they? It’s the problems that are so often the foreground of our experience, so we don’t even realize that there could be anything more.
Knowledge of the psyche enables us to be in touch with ourselves to the fullest… and provides the energy and motivation we need to be happy and fulfilled. It frees up the many invisible blockages that unconsciously get in the way of being able to work, live, and love more fully.
Joining forces: Your artistic and personal voice…
Psychological work nurtures and strengthens the full development of your artistic voice alongside your personal voice.
It helps you tap into inspiration and maintain the motivation to consistently dive headlong into your artistic work.
At the same time, it also makes sure you are regularly grounded and connected to your personal voice, which can either support or interfere with that artistic work.
Together, we’ll illuminate how these two systems can join forces, complement, and synergize each other.
Move headlong into that next project!
Doing this psychological work together will remove the blockages, open up a deeper sense of confidence and self-connection, and enhance your relationships.
This will happen in your writing, singing, acting, and other artistic endeavors.
It will also positively affect the way you approach creative blockages in your personal life, typecasting, and other creative conflicts.
It’s not about “problems.” It’s about living more creatively.
I see mental health as a way of learning how to embrace the dissonances of life – how to read the chord changes, expand our range, and, ultimately, make more interesting music together.
If you’re an artist, you know what it’s like to deal with critics. In fact, you probably have one inside that’s often pretty brutal and perfectionistic. In our work together, we’ll get to figure out how to tame and humanize this critic, so you can work effectively and stay in greater contact with the muse.
Let’s get inspired again…
I’m excited to share with you a whole new way of approaching your artistic life – one that honors and celebrates your personal life and opens you up to more possibilities than you ever thought were there before.
If you’re excited about that prospect, too, and you’re looking to find the balance again in your artistic and personal life…
