i'm glad to hear it has been so helpful for you and others here. i do think that some things can be expressed easier nonverbally as echoes mentioned. i love that you've framed and hung some of your art!

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.
i love that book. my new t even does artist way workshops. i'd like to take on from her at some point.

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 thought about the sides of the brain. i don't draw but i know people who do some of their best thinking when sketching away in lectures, etc.
