TJ Walsh, Bold Creatives Collective | The heART of Creative Growth (Non CE)
Listen up, modern therapists! When the time comes to walk into the uncharted land of dreams, there is no person who knows the workings of the creative mind or the treacherous topography of the creative journey better than YOU. But let’s face it, you’re tired. And I’m not talking about the I-need-a-nap tired (well, actually, that too), but the kind of tired that comes with holding creative space for everyone else day after day. Basically, you are burnt the f*ck out, and you need to figure out a way to spark the wildfire that will cultivate new growth in your creative spirit. You’re tired of walking everyone else through their vision boards while yours collects dust. Tired of being a CPT code contortionist as you attempt to squeeze another person into the medical model that just doesn’t fit. It’s exhausting. And by Friday, you have nothing left to give.
Consider this your reminder that it is finally time for you to GROW your creative life beyond your office walls. That’s right. It’s time to get over your shit, remember your dreams, and develop innovative ways to make them come true. If you’re ready to get out of your own way and into your heART, then join Licensed Professional Counselor and certified Clini-Coach® TJ Walsh for an inspiring workshop on The heART of Creative Growth. Heart + Art = THERApy (they’re right there in the word).
By the end of this talk, you will be able to:
- Set one creative goal with a plan to reach it
- Address your fears, tame your critics, and embrace the creative process
- Gain awareness and close your creative gaps
- Cast your vision, set your mission, and make some moves
