The Scream Therapy podcast focuses on how punk rock is a catalyst for mental health. Guests speak with host Jason about how the punk scene supports them and, in some cases, even saves their lives.
Jason and I had a great conversation about creative block, burnout, and performance anxiety. I shared about my panic attack before playing with my band back when I was in grad school.
Back then, my skills as a psychologist-in-training helped me get a handle on my fear, anxiety, and avoidance. Playing drums in a band helped me get through grad school without totally losing my mind!
It’s always a pleasure to talk to other creatives about the struggles that musicians and other creative types face in their art. Thanks for hosting me, Jason.
Give this episode a listen (the photo is linked), especially if, like me, you’re a fan of punk rock. And even if you’re not, our conversation about creative block, burnout, and mental health are valuable to creatives of all persuasions.
If you are a struggling creative and you want help, I encourage you to reach out to a mental health professional. Within a few months of therapy, you should expect to see significant progress in feeling more confident and less insecure.
