Carolina Jimenes. Psychologist, Dance Movement Therapist, Psychomotrician
". . . life is worth living or not according to whether creativity is or is not a part of an individual person's living experience. To be creative a person must exist and have a feeling of existing, not in conscious awareness, but as a basic place to operate from. Creativity is then the doing that arises out of being. It indicates that he who is, is alive." (Winnicot, 1970, p. 39)
