In this episode of 'Art Heals All Wounds,' I explore the transformative power of vulnerability with guest Michael Brady, a psychotherapist and newly emerged musician. Michael, whose performance name is M. Brady, shares his journey from suffering a panic attack during a crucial audition in his youth and abandoning his dream of becoming a musician for two decades. Inspired by the courage of his clients and his desire to confront his long-held fears, he began writing songs, culminating in the release of his first album. This episode delves into the interplay between vulnerability, creativity, and personal healing, highlighting how Michael's experience not only fulfilled a lifelong dream but also enriched his psychotherapeutic practice. Listeners hear about the deep emotional and psychological impacts of unprocessed trauma and small ‘t’ traumas, and the healing potential of creativity.
