The Driving Force
Growing up an only child with extreme anxiety, hypochondriasis, OCD and the tendency towards 'what-if' thinking (that always ended in something catastrophic!) you could definitely say I've a knack for the creative and imaginative. I naturally gravitated to 'the art of play' as a means of emotional exploration. Without realizing what I was doing- I was giving myself permission to be authentically me without judgment. The many versions of myself i may or may not have ever had the opportunity to live my life as. Beyond my own self, i found that i connected to others better as well. I have deep empathy for the human condition and the struggles, triumphs, loves and losses that come with it. I hope by digging into my own emotional well, to tell my truth, you too will feel more connected and pass that empathy on.
