I've done lots of art/music therapy in the past and I really enjoyed it. Also got a lot out of it. Some of my projects I have framed and hanging on my living room wall. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I see them.
I think it would be very fun to learn more about art/music therapy. I'll have to check out that book. Another interesting book is the "Artist's Way' series. I find that it really draws me out of myself.
Sometimes I do art therapy while I'm talking to my T. I seem to think better when I'm doing my art. I would think that it has something to do with stimulating both sides of the brain.
Interesting topic. Thanks for bringing it up.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
