Philip Ruddy is a depth psychotherapist with a masters degree in Counseling Psychology, who also happens to have fifteen years’ experience working as a writer and producer.

As such, he is well-equipped to understand the creative mind, and he works with writers, artists and performers to help them with creative blocks, anxiety, depression, and the unique stresses of the film and television industry.

We spoke with Philip about breaking down writer’s block through exploring the unconscious, Active Imagination, and courage.

In addition to this audio format, the print interview for this conversation is available on Creative Screenwriting Magazine’s website.
