The Intense Mind with Imi Lo

I have the honour of talking to Eric Maisel. Eric is the author of more than 50 books and is widely regarded as America's foremost creativity coach. His most famous books include Fearless Creating (1995), The Van Gogh's Blues (2002), Coaching the Artist Within (2005), and The Atheist's Way (2009).  In this episode, we talked about the wounds of being children of authoritarian people, how we can liberate ourselves, and Eric's advice on parenting.  We also address what it means to live an authentic life, and why depression, anxiety and mania are not mental illnesses.http://www.ericmaisel.comBecause the content is so rich, I have created two separate articles out of this conversation.

In this episode, we discussed what Douglas Eby did when years ago he could not find any information on high sensitivity and intensity. We see what we can learn from actors who are emotionally intense. We will answer the question: Why sensitive people are more prone to depression and it might not be a bad thing. Finally, we explore what constitutes exceptional creativity and why gifted women have a hard time accepting their talents. Full Shownotes and Transcript: www.eggshelltherapy.com/podcastResources mentioned: - Elaine Aron- The Highly Sensitive Person https://hsperson.com/- Julie A.
