E59. How I Manage My Depression Through Creative Practice

I sought out regular treatments for decades to help me manage my depression, and nothing worked until I finally decided to step into my identity as a creative & artist and commit to making creative practice the center of my life. In this episode I talk about how and why creative practice is my anti-depressant of choice, why it's the only thing that's worked for me, and what my creative practice looks like (it's not just sitting down to write!).My standard disclaimer about mental health subjects applies here. This is my personal story. I'm not a medical doctor and my PhD is not in psychology.You can find info about the book The Van Gogh Blues here.
