i sometimes find it difficult getting art things done. would a therapist help so i could go to them and come back when i've got an art project done?

That might depend on what's causing the block.

Like BonnieJean said, might depend on what's causing the block.

I can tell you my experience though! When I first started with current t, I had just come through the worst of clinical depression after being on meds for a year but my pdoc at the time continued to suggest talk therapy as a complement to meds. I finally got brave enough to start. And at that time, I only knew that I wanted more out of my life than the depression I was still struggling with even while on meds. So! I found t and we began. I didn't even give a thought to this possibility - but after about 3 months, I began writing poetry again. I had locked up that creative part of myself tighter than a drum and thought I had thrown away the key waaaaay back in 1987 but without me even realizing it at first, t and I found and unlocked my writing during that first 3 months. I've been writing poetry again ever since and a couple years ago, even self-published a book of my poems. So for me, therapy definitely helped me unlock my creativity again. And has helped in a bunch of more ways besides. I wish you all the best in whatever you decide!
