the time has come to speak, but as i cant verbally i have decided to try it thru art again.

many yars ago i would take drawing into my then T, she never spoke about them and neither did i but thats how i wanted it, but somehow showing her those pics helped so much.....my voice may be locked up in a pit but my creativety isnt..... akready started looking at some pics, yes they were triggering printing them out (im going to do a collage again) and its going to take me another few days before i even look at them again - let alone put them together

this feels the safest way i can communicate my past

well its the only thing i can think of to get things out

yeah thanks im kind of excited about doing it and yet terrified too cos just putting the pics together causes alot of emotion pain and triggering but i know its the only thing that helps me...... if that fails this time then i give up

I've always found art an amazing outlet too. Words are good as well thought. Perhaps you could do a sort of pop art piece which includes some words in it? x

The main thing is that you have an awareness of this, which in turn gives you time to prepare how to deal with a situation, should it arise...I hope it's a positive experience...wishing you luck! :)

Is there anything that you can do that won't trigger you - just some colouring in can be very therapeutic. I'm sorry that it has triggered you so much :hug2: xx

I think art is a lovely way to try and communicate to people in a non verbal way. It is such an easier and creative way to do it.
