@Kookee bum-biting memories indeed! Lol!
It's been shown that talk therapy isn't helpful for a lot of trauma as it can be retraumatising to put it to words. So I use a lot of nonverbal therapy such as your examples. EMDR therapy is great for that reason - there is little talking. What kind of therapy art do you do? I do collages. I make up therapies. I'm making up one now based on emergency preparedness, which I'll post soon. Maybe you'll like it? The can of worms....Ugh! Did you know in the story of Pandora's box, hope had been slipped into the box? I had forgotten how the myth goes and only recently brushed up on it.
@Catherine21 how are you holding up?

@Catherine21 good to hear. 💕 This song is so sweet and soothes me when I feel out of place in this world, like you describe so well. Maybe you will like it too? And maybe others? If not, it's worth a shot. 🕯️

@Catherine21 you're welcome for the song. I'm happy you like it. You said in your initial post in this thread that you're socially isolated. Perhaps you are referring to IRL? Because here you are a real social butterfly! Maybe you can consider that you are not completely socially isolated because the members of this forum, including you and me, are real people?
@Kookee I consider therapy to be anything I do to improve my physical, mental or spiritual health. It doesn't have to include a paid therapist, although I do dabble in them once in a while. So right now I'm starting travel therapy as well as emergency preparedness therapy. At home, I do physio, yoga, meditation. I talk to friends and family about issues, and consider that therapy. I do collages and jewelry restoration. And other therapies. I call it life therapy, or living therapy, or self-directed therapy. I saw the art you posted. Wowza! Gorgeous. The way you describe how you do it and how you feel when you do it, well, to me that's art therapy. Does that make sense? Semantics, you know. BTW, if you're interested, the collages I make are with digital software.

Hey Catherine, I was reading some of your insightful comments after having just watched a great video that really resonated deeply with me and has given me such a better understanding of myself and felt led to want to share it with you too 😻
