UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF TRAUMA IN DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW:WHY THERAPY IS ESSENTIAL

🎭 Music, Film, and Acting Industries

Creatives are often deeply sensitive, emotionally attuned individuals who use their inner lives to fuel their work. However, this very openness can leave them vulnerable to anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and burnout. A 2020 study by the University of Westminster and MusicTank found that:

  • 71% of musicians have experienced panic attacks or high levels of anxiety
  • 68% have experienced depression

In acting, the merging of personal identity with public persona can lead to emotional disconnection, imposter syndrome, and difficulty sustaining stable relationships. Performers often describe a life of extreme emotional highs and lows, compounded by intense scrutiny and isolation.

🏛️Politics and Positions of Power

Politicians and those in senior leadership roles—CEOs, founders, board chairs—often work under constant surveillance, high-stakes decision-making, and relentless demands. A 2018 Harvard Business Review study reported that:

  • More than 50% of CEOs report feelings of loneliness, with 61% saying it negatively affects their performance
  • Burnout among leaders is not only common—it’s often culturally reinforced

The mental health toll includes chronic stress, anxiety, decision fatigue, and emotional suppression, particularly when vulnerability is viewed as a liability.

đź’Ľ Children of High-Net-Worth Families

Growing up in a family of significant wealth brings a unique set of emotional challenges. These may include:

  • Identity confusion (Who am I beyond my family’s name or legacy?)
  • Trust issues (Are people here for me or for what I represent?)
  • Pressure to succeed or maintain image
  • Emotional neglect masked by financial provision
  • Isolation from peers or feeling “othered”

A landmark study by psychologist Dr. Suniya Luthar found that children from affluent families are at a higher risk of anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders than their middle-income peers.

  • “High-achieving school settings show elevated rates of substance use and internalising symptoms, with girls particularly vulnerable” — Development and Psychopathology, 2013
