How art and music helped me overcome my Complex PTSD | Deena Lynch | TEDxUQ

Video Description

Sharing her personal story of overcoming complex PTSD, Deena Lynch introduces us to unexpected, creative tools to support our own mental health. From being a sassy front woman, visual artist, art director, photographer, a serial hobbyist in too many things like motorcycles and travel, Deena Lynch just can't sit still. She is the braincat behind JONZE SOCIETY and projects: Jaguar Jonze, Spectator Jonze & Dusky Jonze. Jaguar Jonze has found herself with international recognition over the last year with the release of her Debut EP Diamonds and Liquid Gold and Spectator Jonze found herself designing a brand new BMW for Brisbane art week recently. Not one to rest on her laurels, Deena Lynch continues to use her eclectic range of channels to express herself and give others a chance to relate to these shared experiences. With more music on the horizon as well as a series of public speaking seminars it looks like she will continue to take strides on the creative world both at home and internationally. In her talk, Deena shares her experience of overcoming complex PTSD by embracing her artistic nature. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
