Ep.12 Elma Kanefield: Mental Health Therapist Behind Juilliard's Support for Actors
Have you ever pondered how artists think or how psychotherapy might change how we view performance and personal growth? Psychotherapist and Juilliard School Counseling Services founder Elma Lintz Kanefield is now an author. Dr. Jewel White-Williams and Elma discuss "Hamlet's Mirror's" strong reflecting practices in an intimate conversation. Elma provides valuable insights for professionals from the stage to the ER by unpacking the four fundamental ways of thinkingā€”process-focused, possibility-driven, judgment-free, and depersonalized. Her book inspires us to reach our greatest potential and embrace these techniques' transforming influence in personal and professional life.
The episode asks existential concerns about art that resonate with performers and educators. Elma's writing about authenticity in performance and daily encounters resonates with my teaching experiences. We investigate how audience and knowledge affect an artist's work in real life. We conclude that Elma's "Hamlet's Mirror" is more than a bookā€”it's a reflection of life, delivering profound, nutritious truths worthy of your favorite cold-pressed juice. This episode will broaden your thoughts and possibly change your approach to life's stages.
