I really enjoyed the art therapy I did - and I'm not artistically inclined at all. I started out coloring in pictures. It was nice childhood memories for me. Then I liked doodling outlines that I could color in.

It felt nice to scribble with a big black pen sometimes - because that was how I felt. To be able to scribble it out without feeling like I needed to rationalise it or justify it to someone... To not feel like I was wrong or bad for feeling that way. To not have someone else try and hit me over the head with alleged irrationalities, which only ever made it worse...

With practice... You actually get better at it. Some of the people turned out to be really very artistic and they didn't at all know they were that way inclined.
