It's me again.. I'm having a very though time and I am noticing increased difficulty to talk about my worst thoughts and emotions while in therapy. So, I'm not a talkative person and
always draw as a way to express myself (and write a lot as well..) and I was wondering if I could show something to my therapist if words don't come.
I did a significant one this week trying to explain and escape the uncomfortable feelings that are emerging, I couldn't put that into words so far.
I'm not thinking about cancelling the sessions, but I fear I won't be able to talk.
So is it ever appropriate to bring in artwork and stuff to show? It's just 1-2 sheets in my case. Or do therapists usually don't like to see what one brings in? I'm going to ask her once there, if words don't come and I'll need to show her, but I wanted to be more or less prepared and try to avoid feelings of embarassment and rejection - besides I don't usually show those drawings to anyone and I'm shy - so I'd like to hear your opinion first. Is that ever allowed or helpful? Anyone been there, done that? How'd it go? thank you.
This is a silly question I know, but I have no idea!
