Recently, we went over drawing techniques in class and how to facilitate that in a group therapy or even individual art therapy session. This particular exercise involved drawing a doorway. The goal was to help generate greater self-awareness and exploration of one’s life.

I ended up drawing a teal door that opened out into a lovely valley. The winding road led me to the Tree of Love, where love grows in abundance for me. I grows fruit of healthy, happy relationships, self-care, and so much more. All of which I continue to need to work on in my life in terms of self-care and have some amazing friendships with several individuals who cherish who I am and I them.
