Becoming the Artist Again: Rediscovering Your Identity After Burnout or Trauma

Written By lexi traub

Many creatives hit a wall—burnout, disillusionment, or a rupture that steals the joy from making. Sometimes, life events or trauma can make us forget we’re artists at all. This blog explores how to gently reclaim your creative identity using expressive arts, intuitive guidance, and community.

Signs you may be ready to reclaim your artist self:

  • You feel grief around not making art

  • You used to identify as creative but lost touch

  • You crave play, color, voice, or movement

  • You’re scared to begin again

Through tools like the Kala Method, Vedic timing, and group practice, you can begin to show up for your inner artist again—no pressure, no performance. Just presence.
