CRISIS INTO CREATIVITY

Every professional helper experiences an existential crisis at some point in their career. Some kind of loss, trauma, or major illness triggers a sense of meaninglessness, one’s worldview upended. But internal chaos can lead to creative change. Deborah and Tracy talk with Dr. Jeremy Vincent, forensic psychologist and author of 26.2 Miles: How running alone showed me I was never really alone at all. Jeremy writes about marathon training, the practice and discipline leading him to make new connections and strengthen old ones. His memoir is a story of tribe: how reaching for connection can create a new life.
