RE: My disturbing self-portrait. [using art to work through negative emotions]
I went through a bad Childhood and had to go through quite a bit of counselling, I was told to write myself a letter about Everything that happened and how you survived, Seeing it in black and white really helped as would you doing this art. Its facing your demons head on .
I like that idea. I write about it too and it really does help. Trying to pretend it didnt happen didnt help...I tried that for years.
No you can never forget, there is always something that makes you remember. Tell yourself your strong you survived and still here to tell the story
Incessantly writing about it doesn't help either, except to make people feel sorry for you,
but, even that gets old eventually as you can see, how would you feel if I repeat to you 150 times
that I was (insert tragedy here)?
