In an interview with Psychology Today, says Ulla Hahn that she did not believe that psychotherapy leads to a writer's block (though why so many writers refuse to psychotherapy, because where would the material when processing all this way). ;
She says that even if there are problems and situations changed, there was enough scrap could write about it. Anyway, it's a big difference between psychotherapy and Writing: After all these are memories that come up, the feelings that one should ability to sense it, only the first step. When Letter would happen because a lot of other things, be a process of aesthetic needs. You have to find the right words in the literary sense, the memories are like a malleable mass. They need to be changed, as required by the text, so, the text would have greater power than the recollections. Ulla Hahn says, distancing oneself when writing suddenly the memories of his own person from whom you write so often, one takes this figure on the sheet as a stranger. "One's own life story has become something else. For a novel." This is something that here in this blog, this occurs quite often: It is often a kernel of truth in the posts, but sometimes invented situations to be reinterpreted, and sometimes are more pieces out in a person, sometimes things are invented in full, you do not know. Despite the large authenticity of the person "growing pain" it's still a fictional character, a role that I take. Although I write exactly as I speak - and I think it important! - Though I'm in the blog as truly as in reality, I write of fictional characters (the most beautiful man in the world there are, of course, just like Jott A. - but I might put them other words in the mouth, to invent things, maybe was kicked awake non-pain in the university for sexual escapades - Who knows!). It's about the game with truth and fiction. Everything could have been so. Literature is so that the text demands things so that he will be fine, and that is not always the truth, as it appears at first glance ... Why bother psychotherapy the creative flow is not, it may even be that they carried the letter in which they can experience a greater distance to his own life, showing different perspectives. Distance is the operative word in the literature. Only when I'm away from the situation if I am no longer involved with them when I can have the ability to empathize with me without being sucked away without them paralyzed to be, then I can about past experiences that I am not only impressed, but also deeply moving, writing, only then can the great fabrics find their way onto the paper ...
