The life of an artist is often one filled with great joy and wonder. Curiosity, imagination and creativity enables you to share with others new ways of experiencing the world.
Life for an artist can also feel like an endless rollercoaster ride. One filled with emotional highs and lows, successes and failures, unshakable confidence followed by debilitating self-doubt, financial instability and the worry that follows: will there be another role, another song, another book, another work of art?
These anxieties can become overwhelming and crippling causing creative blocks and leading to self-destructive coping mechanisms such as drug and alcohol abuse or giving up on yourself as an artist.
Whether you are an artist just starting out or have been working in the business for years therapy can help you face your fears and insecurities and reintroduce you to your creative self!
How can therapy help?
- Therapy can you help you embrace your inner artist.
- Overcome stage fright.
- Discover that no matter how much time may have passed since your last creative endeavor you never lose your gift.
- Realize that alcohol and drugs do not enhance creativity but destroy it.
- Explore unconscious material that may be creating an emotional block preventing you from starting or completing a project.
- Handle changing or juggling careers.
“There is vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” Martha Graham
