Creative Block and Hypnotherapy

Creativity

Technology continues to automate routine tasks. It’s the use of creativity that is increasingly important in many jobs and hobbies. But what happens when you creativity deserts you? When you have Creative Block? Well fear not, Hypnotherapy has been used to overcome creative blocks in many people, both famous and not famous. And as I recently discovered and Charles Bukowski (German-American Poet and Novelist) agrees, “Writing about writer’s block is better than not writing at all.”

Writers Block

A friend of mine is a writer and he has from time to time suffered with short periods of writers block. He tried various approaches to resolve it including working on regardless but the only thing that works for him is to rest and do something else and let his subconscious work on things.  Now this is fine if you have it for a short time, but what if you are a writer and you simply cannot write? For weeks, months, even years.

Philipp Meyer (American Writer) has a theory about it. He said, “I don’t think “writer’s block” actually exists. It’s basically insecurity — it’s your own internal critic turned up to a higher level than it’s supposed to be at that moment, because when you’re starting a work — when the page is blank, when the canvas is open — your critic has to be turned down to zero… The point is actually to get stuff on paper, just to allow yourself to kind of flow. It is only by writing that you’ll discover characters, ideas, things like this.”

Hypnotherapy

Now that’s an interesting idea as it’s thought that prolonged periods of creative block has a root in the mind and is the result of a lack of confidence, burnout, stress or even depression. Fortunately, Hypnotherapy has a well-established track record in helping with all these conditions.
