Anxiety, ADHD Panic Attacks and Depression?
These are Signs of the Creative Mind Misunderstood.
The creative mind is misunderstood. Perhaps you have struggled with anxiety. Maybe a history of panic attacks. A long-standing battle with depression. One of these may have sent you seeking professional help. Maybe they are the reason you are seeking help now. You could have been professionally diagnosed. You may have self diagnosed. In each of these cases, you have been misunderstood by (hopefully) well-intended helpers who didn't see you fully.
Counseling for Creative People
Creative People, are passionate, powerful people. You were necessarily and naturally born this way, in order to fulfill your biological imperative to create. What happens when this creative imperative is disrupted, or misdirected? Clinical problems like anxiety, panic attacks and depression happen. These are usually the presenting symptoms that bring clients to treatment. But- to treat these symptoms without treating you entirely as a Creative Person is not a lasting solution for your life. It is like treating a sneeze but not taking care of the cold!

Self Care for Artists and Creatives
A hallmark of the creative brain is strong intuition, and with this comes powerful empathy and the desire to nurture. With a penchant for inventiveness, Creative People are slow to seek help for themselves and quick to use their internal resources to support others. Sound familiar? It is important to give yourself permission to put down the burden of doing everything on your own, just because you have the capacity to "find a way," because no human has the bandwidth to do it all. And- I give your permission, and underscore the necessity, to dedicate some bandwidth to nurture yourself, in the same way your powerful empathy drives you nurture others. It is indispensable to your ability to be creative and live well! It is my passion to help you, and save you from a struggle you don't deserve.
