Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
My own art therapy collages, words, fingerpainting and whatever else fits here. I have been in therapy for many years. I am also planning to apply to a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology...yes, even at my age!! Specific issues and diagnoses are on the boards for Depression & Suicide, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Feelings/Thoughts which are all on the boards near the top. Near the bottom of the page are boards that are specific to Self Injury, Eating Disorders and Sexual Abuse. Please take a look at the Mental Health Videos, at the top of the page, they are quite interesting and informative. Some of the videos only show the description and the play symbol, but if you click on the play symbol it will play the video. Also, check out the videos at the top of the page for information on other diagnoses and symptoms.
"create an image about how you are feeling in the moment." "As I looked at what I did, I realized that I've been feeling a bit anxious and hypervigilant lately. Not sure why, but my drawing spoke that to me."

From www.mindparts.org Clinically Clueless wrote: "This image represents the wall that I have of the defenses that hide the reality that I do not want to see or feel. The wall has open spaces that allow things to flow back and forth which I am in the process of doing... exposing and accepting reality instead of hiding it behind my defenses. I actually do know reality, but I won't, at times, allow myself to see it."

"I used my non-dominant hand. This exercise came at a good time as I am working through some of these issues and feelings in therapy now. During one of the sessions, I said that I feel like coloring. The colors are a bit washed out. The colors are a red-orange and purple-blue."

Fingerpainting suprisingly is quite therapeutic. I'll leave the interpretation to you.

Fingerpainting surprisingly became quite therapeutic. I won't tell you the meaning as I want you to find your own meaning.
