Do you struggle with hearing feedback about your creative work? Does receiving critiques make you want to run away and hide? Do you often procrastinate solving problems that people point out with your artistic work? Then, this episode is for you! Risa Williams talks to artists/therapists, Erica Curtis and Hilary Kern about how we can receive feedback and criticism in a healthier way, and how to channel what we hear back into creative energy again.

They discuss:
-The difference between helpful and unhelpful feedback
-How to create space to hear feedback effectively
-How to soothe yourself when you're feeling hurt or defensive
-How to use the phrases, "Yes, and..." and "What if?" to prompt yourself to a better emotional place
-How artists and creatives can see resilience as a super strength
-Avoiding procrastination after you hear feedback from others
