There is magic in the bridges. 💠
Jung said you can cure a psychotic patient if you can make him creative.

In his book, The Denial of Death, Ernest Becker said, “both the artist and the neurotic bite off more than they can chew, but the artist spews it back out again and chews it over in an objectified way, as an external, active, work project. The neurotic can’t marshal this creative response embodied in a specific work, and so he chokes on his introversions. The artist has similar large-scale introversions, but he uses them as material”.
