I sometimes draw and paint.
I only started having flashbacks about childhood a few years ago, I kept a very very tight lid on the denial. But you can see some of it in a few of the paintings and drawings that I did as a teenager - it came out regardless of the denial. When I first started working through the flashbacks a few years ago, I drew continuously for a few months. I filled heaps of sketchbooks. I can see some of the emotional processing in those drawings now.
I also occasionally paint now just for fun. I love the feel of brush on canvas and I prefer bright bright colours. |
