Therapy for Creatives with Blake Roberts The Opportunity Collective

Blake Roberts has been marrying therapy with creativity for years without realizing it. When he left his undergrad with a major in Christian Ministry but no desire to work in a Church, he had no idea what he would end up doing. Eventually, he worked in marketing with artists at his father-in-law’s art gallery in Nashville, Tennessee. At the same time, he was experiencing a new awakening as he went through therapy for himself.
The result? Therapy as creative work. Blake has moved on from the art gallery and opened his private counseling practice.
In this episode, we chat about how his therapeutic values are also creative values.
* CURIOSITY OVER CRITICISM
* IF YOU CAN NAME IT, YOU CAN TAME IT
* THERE IS BEAUTY IN THE MIDST OF PAIN
* HEALING ISN’T LINEAR
* PRESENCE OVER PERFORMANCE MATTERS MOST
We then discuss Blake’s theory of Three Creative Paths and how we can move our ideas past shame and fear and create for the right reasons.
Opportunities that Blake wants to share with you!
While Blake can only accept therapy clients in the state of Tennessee, there are many other opportunities for you to help him and for him to help you. One service that Blake is seeking some help with is clarifying his workshops. He is currently designing workshops and courses based on these ideas of therapy and creativity, but it can be hard to know how to merge them all together. If you have any ideas, he’d love to talk to you!
