What are some therapeutic activites that you do with your therapist?

What are some you do on your own time for "self therapy"?

My therapist and I are going to be making dreamcatchers next week. Due to my many nightmares, I thought this would be something therapeutic and distracting so that maybe it would help me open up some more.

For self therapy, I am doing an illustration book on my trauma and healing experiences. I am writing and my artistic alter is doing the drawings. It's only 4 pages so far, but we hope by next week to have a good chunk of it done to show our therapist.

It got me wondering, what do the rest of the members on psychcentral do for themselves other then the straightforward therapeutic approach (talk, EMDR, etc)?
