"My therapeutic experience with Cheryl made me feel I was in a safe position to share what I can about my woes.
If anything, I think whatever it is we do, we always need a medium for us to channel our emotions and expressions. Could be through painting, music, singing, traveling, etc. I know sometimes we'll lose interest in the things that make us feel joy, but I believe we should continue doing it nevertheless. I gave up on art during the darker years, but the moment I picked up my sketchbook I knew it was the one way I could transform the abstract depressive thoughts into something tangible and be perceived. Then work around from there, identify the shape that we coalesced.
My sessions with Cheryl helped me to dive into different art experiments, try different activities that may or may not work, and the ways in making peace with those inner demons. I went from desperately needing to attend therapy sessions once a week, to biweekly, to monthly, to one-off sessions. The lingering traumas that have tormented me in my dreams were more or less gone, a bit more relatively peaceful. Either way, after all is done I think I've got a good idea what to do when I'm facing my downs again. And I can't thank Cheryl enough for it."
