Granite, these pictures are incredibly powerful. You express yourself so well in your drawing and in the words you have written.

No, it is absolutely NOT too much. I think it would be a very very good thing to share these with your T.

most of the words are not mine they are from songs

[Paige008]

These are amazing and really powerful. I think that if you're comfortable sharing them, then you should.

[stopdog]

It is my understanding many therapists think discussing this sort of thing is really great.

Wow, granite. Wow. You have talent. I know my therapist was really enthused when I brought in drawings, but then again, he lets me write things out instead of saying them out loud, at least to start. Taking in the drawings definitely gives you a jumping off place to talk, though. I think you should try it.

Granite-the fact that you shared these to us is incredie!!! YES- you should share these with your T; they are extremely powerful an show your pain so viscerally. My T loves it when i show her art work.

[SoupDragon]

These are really powerful and moving, yes I would share with T if you can.

[velcro003]

Actually granite-i think this is PERFECT! She has to look at them, and of course read the words you've written. Just looking at these amazing drawings will show her so much, but also i think it is an easier jumping off point to talk about your feelings.

This bears repeating. I want to make sure you see this.

Granite, you're great! If you feel safe enough, you sure should share it with you t... Those drawing are incredible and so honnest and significative (is that a word in english?)

[sweepy62]

granite im amazed

[pbutton]

Those are super powerful granite. I hope you share them with your T.

Very nice and extremely worthy of T.

Granite - you communicate so well - here on PC and your artwork. Your drawings took my breath away and brought me to tears. I cry on your behalf - that you've suffered so much. That you have survived and that you're still a fighter gives me hope about the human spirit. You are an amazing person and your deserve a lot of love. And you know that you are well loved here on PC and I'm know your T feels the same.

You are working so hard for your healing. I am so impressed. I have been a witness to your courage these past few months and I'm in awe. If only I worked half as hard as you do, I'd be out of the woods with my puny insignificant issues.

That you're asking the question of us if you should show these to your T signifies that you are ready to go the next step. You're ready to come closer to your T; trust has been building. I am so glad for you.

When it feels right - YES, absolutely show these to her. She will be touched deeply as all of us are here on PC. Granite, you are my hero. You are an amazing woman.

Wow, such wonderful sketches, you are talented. and I agree with skysblue-- you express yourself so well here and in your artwork those are tools that may help you along-- getting it out of self. (I wish I had some avenue like those)
I'm glad for you to have such avenues.

and, thank you for sharing with us.

[granite1]

thanks everyone you make me feel so good and like this might be possible.it is the talking about them that makes me so scared.any time i have drawn in T she has asked me to talk about it some .and OMG i think that would be impossible.but again these days i have had this huge pull to share stuff with her.i hope that i am able to figure out how to soon.

[BonnieJean]

I hope you are able to soon also. Just the visual seems to communicate...

[wheeler]

Very impressive, and I know my T would want me to show them to her.

[rainbow8]

granite, your sketches are amazing! You're so talented! Do you draw from memory or do you copy pictures? I'm asking because I have to have the object or a picture in front of me to draw it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! If you can show them to your T, it would be very productive. I had some collages I showed my T. I was a little embarrassed but I wanted her to see. Also some drawings. We who express ourselves through writing and artwork should take advantage of that, I think. Your T will love your sketches WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SHARE THEM WITH HER.

I am so happy to be part of your therapy journey, to SEE it happening for you.

Very very powerful drawings, Granite. I vote for you sharing them with your therapist. I think she will find them very helpful for the two of you . . .a deepening of her understanding for you and a way for you to explore even more what you have gone through as a child.

PS You're a very talented artist!

Pictures speak a thousand words. Those are drawn really well. I wish I could draw like that

Granite, those pictures say so much...it would be very brave of you if could feel safe enough to share them with your T when you are ready

[karebear1]

Those drawings make me so sad and make me want to cry granite. They really do speak. please show them to your T.

[jaxter23]

Your drawings are so AMAZING!!! You really do have talent and I think you should share it with your T! They usually really like this kind of stuff cuz drawing tends to bring out what you really feel (at least for most people).
