Counseling for creative blocks

The creative process isn’t always smooth. Sometimes, you get stuck in one of the stages of idea development and implementation. When this happens, it’s important to identify
- the poor habits during engagement in creative work (are you trying to create when you need to be somewhere 30 minutes later? are you creating in the presence of a critical/judgmental person? are you beginning creative work with your phone notifications going off every few minutes?)
- the psychological factors that get in your way (are you filled with fear and self-doubt? did you just receive upsetting news that you need time to process?)
During counseling, try opening up with you therapist about the kinds of thoughts that interfere with your creative process. The goal would be to set up an environment (both physical and psychological) which would allow you to move through these blocks smoothy and comfortably.
