SUMMARY:Daydream to Canvas: Creative Expression in Maladaptive Daydreaming
DESCRIPTION:Daydream to Canvas\nCreative Expression in Maladaptive Daydreaming\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you live with maladaptive daydreaming\, you already know how vivid your mind is. You build whole worlds and complex stories in your head. But when you try to turn them into real-life art\, like writing\, drawing\, scrapbooking\, something gets lost. What you make on paper never matches what you saw inside. That gap is frustrating\, and it makes a lot of people give up on making things entirely. \nWe are holding a simple one-hour workshop to tackle this issue. \nThis session is not about technical skill\, and it is not about making something perfect. It has one main goal: to help you understand your brain so you can get your thoughts out of your head without overthinking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we will cover\n\n\n\n\nThe Science of Creativity\nWe will dive into what creativity actually is\, what happens in the brain when you create\, and how maladaptive daydreaming changes this process. \nRemoving Creative Blocks\nWe will talk about why bringing your daydreams into the real world feels so hard\, and how you can overcome these obstacles. \nA Quick Art Exercise\nA simple prompt to help you map out one piece of your inner world using words\, sketches\, or collage. \nThe Italy Exhibition\nWe have an exhibition in Italy made specifically for daydreamers. We will share how you can submit your work and show your world to others. \nOpen Chat\nA casual space at the end to ask questions and connect with others in the community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop connects to something bigger.\nMaladaptive Daydreaming Italia and the University of Padua are hosting “The Shapes of Maladaptive Daydreaming” — a first-of-its-kind exhibition at the University of Padua this October. It is open to all daydreamers who want to share their creative work: drawings\, paintings\, writing\, and more. \nDuring this workshop\, we will walk you through exactly how to take part. Learn more about the exhibition → \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers:\nSaumya Jaiswal has a background in clinical psychology and works as a counselor\, but her real perspective comes from living through the same mind loop. Having spent years navigating maladaptive daydreaming\, she went on a personal journey to untangle her brain\, overcome MD\, and bring her true creativity back to life. Today\, she combines clinical knowledge with lived experience as a mindset coach\, guiding others to move past internal blocks\, understand how their minds work\, and turn their vivid inner worlds into real\, physical creation. \n  \nValeria Franco is the Vice President\, Treasurer\, and head of Communications at ISMD. Valeria founded the first non-profit association for Maladaptive Daydreaming in Italy. A former MDer herself\, she is committed to spreading proper information about MD\, leading Italian and international online communities since 2016. After a Master’s degree from the University of Padua in Cultural Tourism Management\, she received a Counseling Diploma in order to provide better support for people in her communities. She is an art communicator and works as a marketing and communication freelancer\, specialising in the art and non-profit field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJOIN THE WORKSHOP \n  \nYou can add this event to your calendar using the button below.\nThe event will automatically appear in your local time zone.
