Amanda's Personal Tale

In this episode, Amanda Edwards and Celene Beth delve into the often-overlooked mental health implications of working in the creative arts. Drawing from Amanda’s extensive background in dance, theater, and mental health, the conversation explores how trauma impacts not only survivors but also creatives, actors, and crew members. Amanda shares her journey from her childhood in the studios of New Jersey Ballet to her extensive trauma work and studies, specializing in somatic and attachment healing. She discusses how she’s integrating mental health awareness into various industries, from Broadway to student films, and emphasizes the importance of supporting everyone involved in the creation process.

Amanda and Celene Beth go on to explore the critical need for mental health support in environments where trauma is not only depicted but often used as a story point. They touch on the impact of these subjects on individuals who bring them to life, from the actors to the crew, and how mental health professionals can help maintain well-being in the creative process. As Co-Founder and President of the Association of Mental Health Coordinators, Amanda works to ensure that mental health is not just an afterthought but an integral part of every project, creating healthier and more sustainable creative environments for all involved!
