EnPointe

My name is Claudia Larrain. I was born into a family of Chilean immigrants. The only daughter in a family with two boys, I fought to break out of the traditional roles for women and girls as servants. I fought for my one true love, ballet. My father was the biggrest obstacle. My family had connections which allowed them to leave Chile when things became unbearable. My life in the United States opened up a world of freedom, but became tainted by episodes of depression, panic attacks and emotional paralysis. I tried many forms of treatments without solution.

Once obtaining a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, I noticed a connection between creativing and healing. My art and meditation provide me with a natural way to raise myself from the depths of depression, unlike any pharmaceutical. I wrote this book to raise awareness and provide resources to help others heal and break the cycle of emotional abuse, which is ofen passed on through family legacy.

This book is rich with stories about artists who use their creativity as an outlet for healing. They will help you learn that you are not alone. Use the resources to understand how you can begin a life toward emotional wellness through creative flow.

I am passionate about sharing what I've learned. Come on this journey with me. Turn the pages and discover how your own creativity can be the best medicine toward emotional wellness.
