Honoring the Creative Process with Dr. Eric Maisel

Описание: Honoring the process, creating ceremonial bridges and making life choices with purpose. Wow! I could talk about these arenas all day!...or at least 47 minutes in this episode with author, teacher, retired psychotherapist, and coach, Dr. Eric Maisel. I recently found Dr. Maisel on YouTube by chance. I was instantly compelled to have a conversation around these two powerful statements: “The creative process is one choice after another.” and “You can’t escape anxiety if you are a creative person”. Dr. Maisel truly is a culture changer and a leader in both the arts and the mental health care professions. In this episode, he shares a few self care practices and some interesting discussion about the search for purpose or meaning. I believe he sheds light where shadows tend to lurk and he sparks some very important conversations. Dr. Maisel writes the “Rethink Mental Health” blog for psychology today. He has written over 50 books including his more recent works: Redesign Your Mind, The Power of Daily Practice and Unleashing the Artist Within.
