Painting
Painting offers a way of expressing feelings that might feel too tangled or overwhelming to put into words. The act of choosing colours, moving the brush, and allowing shapes to emerge can help release what’s held inside, offering both relief and insight. It isn’t about creating something to hang on a wall, it’s about giving your inner world a place to flow freely.
Poetry
Poetry invites you to slow down and listen closely to yourself. Through words, rhythm, and imagery, you can capture emotions that are often hard to explain in everyday language. Writing or even just playing with words can bring clarity, validation, and a deeper connection to what you’re truly feeling. It’s not about being a ‘poet’, but about finding your own voice in a safe, contained way.
Mark Making
Drawing and mark-making allow emotions to land on the page through line, shape, and texture. This simple, instinctive act can help untangle thoughts and soothe the nervous system. Whether it’s bold strokes or delicate lines, the process can uncover what’s beneath the surface and create space to explore it gently. It’s less about creating a picture and more about letting your hand tell the story your voice might not yet be ready to share.
