Creative work can place unusual demands on identity and the nervous system. You are repeatedly asked to be visible, evaluated and rejected; to access emotion on command; to tolerate uncertainty; and to keep making even when the outside world is not confirming your worth.

​

For years, I knew that landscape as an actor. I also know what can happen when the public or professional self becomes louder than the private one.

​

Somatic work can help creative people separate worth from outcome, become more intimate with emotion without being ruled by it, and build a steadier relationship with visibility, expression and uncertainty.
