I'm not sure if this relates to your experience at all, just that I've found creative arts to be powerful. Also, good for therapy discussion.

Thank you ruh roh! Your screen name makes me smile! [emoji4]
Somatic drawing may not be a legitimate "term" but it's all I could come up with to put a name to it. I'm much more comfortable sorting something out if it has a name and "definition" and I can understand it. There doesn't seem to be an explanation that I can understand or relate to this.
My counselor and I have talked about drawing and sculpting before. It sounds like something I would be open to try.
