5/30/25: This book is so popular I feel like, did I read the same book as everyone else? Cameron believes creativity comes from a higher power and is outside of ourselves rather than something that comes from inside the self. She seems to believe that the only path to creativity is through healing psychological trauma. I firmly believe that creativity, while potentially influenced by someone's spirituality, can come from within a person the same as any craft. I also don't believe you have to experience trauma to be a creative person or that the only way to healing or creativity is through trauma. I'm going to say it--the activities were lame pop psychology. There is much better stuff out there on healing trauma than this and probably better stuff on creativity too. Did not find it revelatory or helpful.
