Hey Henrik, great article. I agree that asking yourself ‘what am I supposed to be doing’ is an upward spiral of never-ending anxiety.
However, I’m curious more about your position on therapy. I find that working out who I am through therapy, talking things out, or uncovering traumatic experiences that have crafted me, has only ever helped me.
Who knows though? Maybe I could’ve been a greater artist if I didn’t uncover these things in therapy or inner work an just ran to my art with a machete.
Two kinds of introspection

Am I misinterpreting the idea of therapy here?
