Haven't you done a lot of prototypes and tests? Yes, what did people feel about it? They liked it. I knew that and still like my anxiety just builds up for every day and every day and it's almost like to a point where I can't breathe and like almost like panic attacks because I feel what if what if I launch this and no one wants it? That means no one wants me. I'm going to do. One of the things that you asked at the beginning of this conversation is how do I detach from my work?

Yes.

And I think that's something a lot of creative people can relate to and identify with and I'll talk about that. Okay? So, yes. Here's what we have to ask

ourselves, when you create a piece of work is the work you. Because when people

comment on the work good or bad what is your emotional attachment to the work.

So let's try and break this thing down in simple ways, at least as far as I can do, simple ways

to understand.

So Emily, if you make a marketing campaign

back when you're working with clients,

what is your relationship to that piece of work?

Can you describe it? Yeah. And. to that I do feel often that I have an unhealthy strong relationship to my work and I put way too much you know it's almost

like if people don't like it. They don't like me.

So the work is an extension of you.

Yeah, it is.

An extension of your creativity, of your intelligence, of your taste, of your

intelligence,

understanding,

okay perfect.

So for some reason when you create a piece of work,

whether it be a website, logo or marketing campaign you identify with that in some

some way okay so let's just park it there now let me examine a couple other

things here before we get into this.
