I first began to paint and draw out of a desperate need for a language, a medium that could communicate the pain inside of me. I was in therapy. I was shattered, overwhelmed and terrified. No words could communicate what I carried inside of me, the deep trauma from years of childhood abuse and torture that were haunting and debilitating me.
Then my therapist posed a life-changing question that shifted the entire course of my therapeutic process. He asked me - as I sat paralyzed, despairing, and frozen on the couch in his office - if I had ever considered drawing or painting as a way to help me communicate what had happened. That question led me to the most surprising discovery of my own power, willingness and courage to heal from within.
