Do you use your art as a healing activity? What does that look like?
Does it mean making marks without judgment? Does it mean discovering things that you can’t say with words but only through mark making and images?
Do you need to have a guide or therapist or a teacher? Can you trust yourself to do the discovery on your own?
I think the process of making something is the healing activity. It may not be important to interpret or give special meaning to the product.
I have tried some art therapy type assignments, and found that they were not especially useful to me. I find if I tweak a project to my own supplies, skills or interest, it has more impact for me.
One challenge that I have is to trust myself and to enjoy the process without judging it. I think that is a skill that is worth developing.
What if I make mud? What if I make the same marks over and over again? Is that valid? Is that important? I try to remember that it is about the process. And let that be good enough.
