Creative Bridges for me was overwhelming. Whilst I found it inspirational, exciting and nourishing, it was also scary, challenging and revealing- my writing over the weekend highlighted my anxieties around my ability to 'make it' in the world of Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes (CWTP) and my impostor syndrome was well and truly triggered!
The conference gave me so much and yet I still feel I cannot get enough. The world of CWTP seems too good to be true and I feel a sense of duty and pressure to immerse myself in it as much as I can, as soon as I can. And then I think: I have such a long way to go and there is so much I want to do- should I just give up now? I am scared to burn out while I try to launch myself into this world alongside having to maintain my 'real life' commitments- work, home etc. If only the weekend could have lasted for ever... it's been so hard to come back to the 'real world' and I feel desperate to get on with my new venture as The Pocket Poet.
