Bruce Dow: You Are Not What You Do

Have you ever thought of pursuing a different career or craft? Do you want to try something new; but you’re worried that you might lose everything you’ve already worked hard for? Just take a step and start pursuing it.

In this week’s episode, Actor/Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Bruce Dow reminds us that nobody likes change. Anybody who can’t sit still, and want to do something different is free to pursue it. Slow down, take the pressure off and rest. Don’t be afraid to start all over again.

In this episode:

We are not unsafe if someone has a belief that is different from my own.
The challenges that Bruce experienced during the pandemic led him to pursue psychotherapy.
As artists, we are more than what we do; we have to live in the reality of life.
The impact of allowing ourselves to rest and unplug from the world to our mental health.
