Hi Dreamseeker,
I just want to say I think it is a great idea to make a collage. I did art therapy in the last treatment facility I was in, and I was surprised at how helpful it was.

I've never brought in art to share with T, but I think it will be ok, even if you haven't mentioned it beforehand.

Last week I told T that I was afraid and embarassed to bring up certain things with her, because I felt like she was judging me and I really wanted her approval. She understood, but reminded me that she worked for me......that I 'employ' her.
I guess that is true, and it means that whatever topics we bring to therapy is ok, because really, we are in charge.

Let us know how it goes!
