This is an interesting comment. I think writing allows me to tell my story but remain disconnected to it. Speak the words that describe what happened, connects me to it differently....I cannot separate from it for some reason. The question is... do you have to connect to it in order to eventually heal?
I found it a lot harder to talk about some artwork I had brought in than reading was. The drawings reaches deeper for me.

I've been exploring my feelings via art. Now that I've tried it, I seem to be drawing more than writing. I like drawing because I seem to be able to transfer the emotions onto the paper, then put it away for a while. In therapy talking about my drawings, is just as difficult...maybe more difficult because I cannot deny or gloss over things because it is right there in the picture.
