Hi I am a UK user. I refused art therapy back in the day. I had a breakdown at only 18 and the doctor offered me art therapy. I wasn't ready at the time.
I see that there are private independent therapists. With a private person I can book one lesson every month or on my own terms. I can gauge how many I need myself, when I need a break and when I need to stop.
How does a person know when it is safe to rip off the band aid? Would it help to do art alongside psychotherapy? I have an app. to discuss therapy in seven weeks, with the hospital.
Does art distract us from real life or is it a representation of it?
