Writing therapy and journaling in the form of poetry combined with photography and art is how Jen Hall demonstrates the use of creative expression as a therapeutic process. Creative expression and having a creative project to focus on can facilitate an ability to have some distance whilst also allowing authentic expression of thoughts and feelings that need to be voiced. Whilst Jen has published this project, she states when you create something let it be for yourself: it doesn’t have to be public, it doesn’t have to be good even though you might decide it’s OK to be both. It’s a wonderful opportunity to voice many things that need to find authentic expression in a direct or abstract way.
You might ask yourself what do I need to say that goes unsaid?
What do I keep hidden within me that I want to release? What would feel like a creative and safe way for me to say what needs to be said? These are all quality questions we could ask ourselves to validate our thoughts and feelings. Giving voice in some safe and authentic way, to what’s inside can allow us to see what needs to heal, and what we could let go of.
Could you be the child-like part of yourself, who has fun with creative expression, even if delving into the dark side? Allow a healing process to connect you with all parts of who you are. Cry, get angry, care, laugh, and love deeply and sincerely: find and be yourself for yourself.
