Claudia Larrain

Claudia Larrain engages in many forms of creativity, including drawing, painting, jewelry making and writing. These are natural ways for her to deal with her mental health issues. She learned much information about her abuser and learned to forgive him once she learned more about his background, being raised by an abusive, bipolar alcoholic. Writing has become a wonderful outlet for Claudia's feeling to emerge from the subconscious. She practices meditation and has learned the power of mindfulness and empathy. She wants to raise awareness and increase the dialogue about emotional balance, to destigmatize mental health issues. Readers will learn how they can improve their own lives through creativity flow. Claudia pulls from her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and scientific research to explore the latest findings about creativity and mental health. She reports interesting findings and suggests alternate forms of treatment.
