Psychologist Cheryl Arutt on Emotional Health and Creative People

“Creating art has always been a way to channel emotional intensity…” Psychologist Cheryl Arutt

Dr. Arutt thinks that actors and other artists who are willing, in their creative work, to delve into the really “messy” feelings of being human (shame, devastations, disappointments, betrayals, traumas and more), probably have a relationship with those feelings.

But, as she notes on her site, “You don’t have to be in pain to do great work as an artist.”

In our interview, she talks about actors and actresses with “bad boy” or “troubled” images, or problems with issues of anger and acting out.

She also comments about being an actor or other artist, and being aware of our Shadow Self.
