Healing Thru Art - Art Therapy and DBT therapy working together to heal me from a debilitating eating disorder and trauma.
Art Therapy and DBT were the tools that helped me break the barriers of my fears and anxieties. Every lesson learned and every brush stroke made offered an alternative to talk therapy. The Art Therapy was my safe way to explore and express the memories I had. The DBT was the tool which opened the doors for me to learn to express my internal experience. These two modalities of therapy gave me my life back. More than my laughter, more than my paintings. They gave me an opportunity to enjoy and experience life-a life that I can share with others, and a life with a loving husband and our children, friends, and family.
