What or who is blocked-your project or you? Specializing in struggling ventures and troubled creatives, Rachel "Doc Hollywood" Ballon, MFT, PhD, leads you through twenty-five therapy sessions, complete with writing exercises, that will help you break through the barriers that are holding you back-in life and in your writing or other artistic endeavors.
Rather than simply offer quick-fix tricks to temporarily overcome common surface issues such as procrastination and perfectionism, Unlock the Blocks digs deep, inviting you to explore the core problems that have trapped you in a negative spiral of self-defeating beliefs and low self-esteem.
As you learn how to practice free-flowing Ballon Writing Method and reconnect with your childlike sense of wonderment, you'll slowly-but surely-clear your creative path of impediments. Getting unstuck is a process, but once you know the strategies that free up your productivity you can move forward with the confidence that your creative possibilities are endless.
Like Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, this is an invaluable resource for writers and anyone else who wants to tap into artistic abilities of any kind.
