Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

@georgette12 I've also tried art journaling, like collage, or even just coloring or doodling without words when I don't/can't write because words are too much. Too revealing. You might try some adult coloring books. One I found helpful is on mandalas which helps me to focus on intricate patterns that can be filled in with gel pens, markers, colored pencils.
When all else fails I just cry to hopefully get the feelings out versus constantly in my head. This COVID situation is bringing lots of old stuff for me too.
One last recommendation is a book someone just sent me My Friend Fear by Meera Lee Patel.

Years ago I attended Edgar Cayce's Temple Beautiful program in Arizona. 10 days of using Cayce principles in non medical healing modalities. Offered to people with chronic and debilitating conditions. Art therapy, music therapy, and color therapy were part of it. We started with a blank canvas and used crayons or paint or pencils to just apply to the canvas. Interesting...cause we didn't really draw pictures...what we did was to observe the colors we used and images etc.
