Trauma Therapy Finale(?) (Patreon)
Content
Did some updating! Here's the original "Trauma Therapy #14"
And here it is now:
Dear Patrons,
I have already begun my next intensive program. I'm about two weeks into it, and I have no intention at this time to illustrate my process.
The "exposure therapy" side of drawing and showing off my progress has been wonderful. It's also been painful, scary, triggering, and even a bit oppressive at times. The thought of "keeping this round to myself" feels very tasty to me.
And who would I be? If I didn't feel torn about it?
I'm worried it'll let my readers down. Furthermore, I wouldn't have kept going if the practice wasn't helpful for me too. Hands down the best part of it was hearing from all the people who could relate, or were helped by the art. So? Why wouldn't I keep going?
I don't have the answers right now. All I can say is "The Big One" will be—hands down—the most difficult Trauma Work I ever do. Right now I just want to convey "the win" of having completed a (two years???) program.
Gah. GAH!
I'd love to know your thoughts.
