By: Mark Moran, LSW Ashe Walker - Unsplashed As a psychotherapist who frequently works with creative individuals, I often hear a familiar worry: “If I get better, will my art get worse?” As an artist myself, I know the feeling. For many artists, the idea of the “tortured artist” looms large, this belief that suffering is not only an unavoidable part of the creative life, but a necessary ingredient for meaningful work. It’s a persistent myth, and an emotionally costly one. L

My clients bring this question into therapy all the time, usually with a mix of frustration, shame, and curiosity. I myself have wrestled with this existential question

By: Emma Schutzius, LSW Yael Hofnung - Unsplashed Can you think of the last time you did something purely for fun, with no expectations or end goal? These actions are a form of “play”, defined by psychologists as activities that are voluntary, enjoyable, and done for their own sake—not for an external reward or outcome (Burghardt, 2011). Adulthood is a stage of life that often becomes synonymous with responsibility, deadlines, and work. There is little room for play when prio

By: Eden Anozier, LSW Vitaly Gariev - Unsplashed As with any relationship, navigating ethical non-monogamy (ENM) requires ongoing internal and interpersonal growth. ENM can tend to shine a bright spotlight these opportunities for self-actualization, even when you confidently identify with ENM. While the basis of issues often explored within ENM dynamics appear in other relationship types and styles, like monogamy and friendship, the varied approaches and nuances within ENM ar
