Join John Wilson and Philip Carr-Gomm in a conversation that explores the mysterious relationship between creativity and suffering. We’re all familiar with the stereotype of the ‘tortured artist’ and the idea of the ‘wounded healer’, but do we have to suffer in order to access the deepest well-springs of creation? Is there a relationship between trauma and creativity, and how can we best serve our clients so that any trauma they have experienced can enrich their creativity rather than stifle it?

I have been facilitating in Counselling & Psychotherapy programmes in the UK for more than 10 years.
I am currently the director at Temenos Education and have a private practice where I offer online Psychotherapy and Supervision using video and chat communication platforms along with virtual environments. I am also the co-founder of onlinevents which has grown to be the world’s largest library of online video and audio content with instant certification and a learning log.
I am also a past chair of the Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO) and have served for 6 years on the board of the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counselling. My passion to bring online learning into the field of Counselling & Psychotherapy has also led to the development of online experiential learning within the Temenos programme, facilitating the exposure of Temenos students to external tutors who are located in different parts of the world. Along with the inclusion of experiential learning of online Counselling & Psychotherapy for Temenos students so that they qualify with knowledge and practice in online communication and relationship.
Philip Carr-Gomm is an author and psychotherapist, having trained in psychology, sophrology, and psychosynthesis psychotherapy. The founder of the Sophrology Institute, he works in the emerging field of psychedelic psychotherapy with the ACER Integration community. He runs a sleep clinic that offers online sleep therapy and is the author of ‘The Gift of the Night: A Six-Step Program for Better Sleep’ which combines sleep science with complementary approaches. Taking a model from psychedelic psychotherapy, the six-step program is easy to teach to clients.
