"That creative urge you feel? It carries two voices – one seeking healing, and one reminding you who you truly are."
The Hidden Forces Behind Our Creative Process
In this episode, I draw from my Safe Creativity research to explore how early emotional wounds continue to shape our creative habits today. I unpack why patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, or fear of sharing may not be personal failings – but signs of unresolved charge from the past seeking completion through our writing.
You’ll discover how trauma reenactment (the unconscious drive to repeat unresolved experiences in the hope of a different outcome) can keep us cycling through the same creative struggles, and how self-awareness and self-regulation can help shift us from writing in search of freedom to writing from freedom. This is a conversation for anyone ready to move beyond stuckness and reconnect with the truth of who they are as a writer.
You’ll also find three journaling prompts at the end of the episode to help you explore where you might be writing from a wounded place—and how to begin shifting into truth. I’d love to hear what comes up for you, so feel free to share your insights in the comments.
