I was just about to start a thread asking if people took journals for their therapists to read. I've been writing so much.

Right after I left my husband of 23 years, I felt wordless. I had a book on Altered art , and started working, it turned into a visual journal, with some images that meant a lot to me. I altered a book that was half Peter Pan, and half Alice in wonderland- one of those vintage books that you turn upside down to read a different book. I din't usually alter books in good shape , but I did this one, and think it probably the most meaningful use of this book ever! To me anyway.

I went through it with my ex T before the relationship became exploitive, and I associate her reading it with an uncomfortably intimate monent much before the relationship was altered to meet her needs.

I wanted to share it with new T- but obviously I was very anxious about it. I guess I was hoping she woukd pick up on some of the references - like Meg Christian's lyric, " filling my life with women from beginning to end". But this T doesn't seem to be visual, and now teases me about my " crytic" communication. Anyone want to write her a note to set her straight on that?

It was good that I shared it with her and we refer to it often. So I'm wondering if she would want to see the best, or worst of what I am working on. I think if I offer and she refuses or
Downplays , it it will be hard for me. But sitting and watching her read a few things I have shared with her has been so painful. Does anyone else share writing or art they have done?
