Art is so therapeutic. It's great that you have that creative outlet at work. Bonus points for getting paid for it.

Arwen suggested EMRD. I've heard really good things about this therapy. Supposed to be really effective for trauma victims.

I've personally found it to be invaluable for my own trauma recovery.

Good luck to you, Lizzy. Art is a lovely outlet!
