331 - Your Inner Critic is Drowning Out Your Creative Voice

If you second guess every creative decision, panic before sharing your work, and overthink every piece, this is called hyper-vigilance and it’s a trauma response. The creative journey is full of bumps and bruises, but sometimes these wounds don’t heal and they get in the way of a healthy thriving creative practice. If you’re sick of the negative anxiety filled voices in your head drowning out your creative voice - the 3 exercises in this episode can help.

This is part 4 of the “Over Overthinking” Series.
