Ready to get nerdy?

Awesome.

As a psychologist with a background in research, I find it hard to talk about any topic without seeing what science has to say about. Since I’ve been preaching creativity over here, I thought I would finally break down the article I have been referencing for months, which you can find right here.

In it, authors discuss different creative acts which actually reduce pain and encourage healing. If you want to see the articles I wrote on music, check it here. The one on visual art and dancing – over here. And the one on writing – that’d be….here.

If you hang in there long enough, you’ll get to hear me talk about Green Eggs and Ham Theory and why your illness, pain, or struggle may actually make you a creativity ninja/superstar/goddess. SO that’s pretty neat.
