worked on it last night! don't have the front drawing done, but it's looking good.....my H helped me. He was like, what's this for, and I said, it represents an emotional shield, it's part of my HW for therapy! He looked amused, and was like, oh, I see!
![]() I had some other thoughts about armor......more spiritual based thoughts and I will try to be careful in presenting them so as not to be sounding overtly religious or preachy (cuz though spiritual things are important to me I don't want to push that on people), but was just thinking about verses that talk about putting on God's armor (for spiritual protection....) and one talked about putting on an armor of light. Well, I thought, armor of light sounds, well, LIGHT! ![]() ![]() |

Whatever you decide to do, which ever parts you keep or discard, however you chose to represent it, try to remember that armor of any kind actually does two things:
It keeps others out AND It keeps you in.

very true, ellie, it has a dual purpose and both do have value, importance for protection and safety.....
I also need to learn to let others in sometimes, and let bits of myself out sometimes instead of being all locked in inside myself....a matter of who, what, when to trust that it's safe to do so, as T said. |

so, have my shield all done and ready for tomorrow's session! wow, I feel sort of oddly nervous......it does feel already like I will be laying down my emotional armor for real in using this shield as symbolic of it....
I am thinking that my habit of both intellectualizing and spiritualizing things is like a shield I use to deflect emotions(along with humor! ![]() ![]() any pocket riders???.....should be an interesting session, you could get to peek out and see T's expression when I take out the shield, that ought to be worth the ride I think! ![]() |
