What I'd really encourage people is to try acting classes. It's a weird form of therapy whereas the focus is not you, as when you go to a therapist, but inadvertently the things you do there work on yourself. Here's an excerpt from a book on the actor's craft. “You asked me a question,” Bill says, looking at Jon. “You asked me, ‘How can we get better at processing our emotions?’ You should all turn off your cell phones. Shut down your computers. Click off your iPods and your televisions and everything you listen to that isn’t human. Modern society has surrounded us with these things and they’re killing us. We’re beginning to forget what it is simply to breathe and eat and laugh and watch and wonder and listen and experience one another. We’re forgetting how to be human beings with actual opinions and genuine feelings and originality. And if we can’t be human, how can we ever hope to be artists" This guy who taught acting classes for 30 years, is able to see clearly what technology has done for human contact. If you think about it, it really makes sense that there's something really fundamental for us humans in acting. It's an art that has been with us for thousands of years, and has withstood the test of time.
