That sounds really interesting, DePressMe. I haven't done anything like that in therapy, but it sounds intriguing and helpful, especially for the visually oriented person. My daughter does art therapy but I don't know if it if similar or not. When I get negative thoughts and don't want them, I don't just ignore them (as you said you were unable to do), I push them away or actively leave them. This is kind of like what you were doing, I think, with the pictures, but only more concretely. Very creative.

The dark centers.... sound like black holes.
