[@brianamacwilliam.attachment]

How are you going to ground yourself in your inner space? I'd like to hear your thoughts and feedback on these art therapy techniques! Make sure to comment below so I can provide you with more of this type of content!

Please can you be our therapist? I and my hubby

I'm interested. I spent 5 years in therapy being told the same thing about the same person without hearing it any other way. Like she couldn't have phrased it differently when I OBVIOUSLY wasn't "getting it?!" She was referred by CPS a long time ago and was one of the best therapists I've had and it STILL wasn't enough. *"It's "sounds like" the relationship isn't meeting your needs."* You can't say that to someone who's been neglected, only wants to be loved (justifying abuse in the process) and has never been taught to care about my needs. So what if it isn't meeting my needs? How do I get another person to meet my needs if they're unwilling to but also not pushing me away or outright saying they won't ever meet my needs? I settled for breadcrumbs thinking I was getting the whole loaf of bread because I was starving for love and affection. I needed someone to point out that those breadcrumbs weren't as satisfying as I thought they were.

This was great, i also picked a circle and instead of making it my stomach how i thought at first. I in fact made it my head and while following the steps of labeling everything. I didn’t realize that by me picking the circle and labeling everything that all of this negative thoughts, is just me inside my own head

After this drawing and video I cried for the scared girl in me. I actually had a feeling that I matter and that I am loved. I felt a sense of love and compassion for myself. Thank you. I’d love to go deeper to finally heal.

I have a great partner this time around. Anxiety is still there on and off. I feel sorry for him for dealing with me sometimes lol. I wish it would go away for good. A lot of it is past trauma from the bad relationships before resurfacing to be dealt with

I had recently just been released from my art therapist (yay!!) and able to continue recovery on my own. Didn't really expect anything much from this but I gave it a shot anyway and it really reminded me of the times i had with my amazing art therapist. I looked at my artwork at the end and it was a complete manifestation (eerie!) of what was going through within me. I'm at the phase of feeling more and more grounded and being my true self and the artwork really showed that I was trying to break boundaries/habits and be more conscious of who I am. I thought it was really relevant to the changes I'm facing positively. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, by accident, when I did my red circle, it picked up art I did on my table, and 'branded' it, with my initials. That is telling because I am living in the UK working in heritage for my ancestral home; the man I love lives in the village. When you had us meditate, I burst into tears, not knowing that would happen, but the image, which I figured was my center, being 'branded' was eery..The sound is gurteral, a growl...my partner always growled when he grabbed and hugged me...I was trying to make that grr in bed the other night as I cried myself to sleep. Since mine is round, I only see it rolling, but as I feel out of control in my life, it is just rolling like an avalanche and out of control. It looks cool, though.

This is amazing, you're so well articuled and explain well

[@Zamstein]

I took an online quiz that said I have this attachment style, and based on my childhood it would make sense…. But I don’t really relate to it that much- or maybe I just feel it only exists mildly for me. My main issue actually feels like OCD and more specifically ROCD. I just wanted to validate anyone else that might be like me.

[@kimberlymccracken747]

What an amazing technique you have developed. I have used some similar things myself while intuitively trying to self-heal from the devastating effects of attachment trauma.

Hello Brianna , I enjoyed your video very much. Look forward to seeing more. The cost of your course is just out of my reach as I am a disabled veteran living on a very fixed income. But thanks anyway ,

[@diandreabrown8711]

I feel for you. I am also unable to afford it right now due to being in between places... but I know through faith and the universe we both will be able to one day do this course :)

[@publicserviceannouncement4777]

It would be cool if she could do discounts for people who are disabled, extremely low-income or veterans but I don't know if there's some sort of rule against it or if it would be considered unfair.

[@diandreabrown8711]

I've done this an it opened up some things for me.. I will post on group, looking forward to your feedback :)

[@rnrradiowrld5347]

This is FABULOUS

[@blisskissed8527]

Are these classes/workshops still happening?

[@lizee-tvee3147]

I wonder if your courses are effective for people with Neurodiversity?

[@superdupeninja8149]

Same I have ADHD lol, I hope it’s the same. We still are creative regardless lol
