Another art therapy exercise. Basically you are supposed to draw a circle, the circle represents a safe space for your emotions. You take a moment and feel and then you draw whatever inside of it. Doesn't matter what the end product is, there's no right or wrong. Then when you are done you are, apparently, supposed to have a conversation or dialogue with your drawing. The purpose of the exercise is to grow more connected with your emotions. I have to say though, this was an incredibly uncomfortable exercise for me, both drawing and the questions. Part of me wants to just crumple it up and scoff at how ridiculous it is, the other part of me is too afraid of the symbolism imbued in that action to actually do so. I might not do this exercise again, but I'm going to talk to Susan before I decide.
Here is my conversation (as per the suggested questions):
- What is your name?
Eternal.
- Where have you come from?
Within.
- Why have you come here?
To observe. To witness. To see.
- What have you come to tell me?
... Change... Transition... Cycle... Movement... Fluid...
- Is there anything important I should know about you?
I am eternal.
- How old are you?
Eternal.
- Do I even need you?
...Yes and No...
- What are you?
Eternal. A manifestation. A veil. A mask.
- What do you need?
... Everything and Nothing...
- What do you want?
Safety. Belonging. To be. To exist.
- How do you meet that need?
I am eternal.
- What do you not want?
To cease... To form... To static... To still...
-Do you feel like you need to give up something to get what you want?
Sight. Knowing. Depth. Definition.
- Is there a part of you where this need feels met?
I am within.
- Is there a part of you where this want feels met?
Tears. Sadness. Incompleteness. Not mine to answer. Underside, look and see...
(Entirely perplexed by that last I stared at the drawing and just decided to flip it upside down and ask again...) The eye in my drawing was angled like it was looking over to my right, so I turned to "look and see" (entirely creeped the fuck out I might add) There was a lit candle and Mister Misses my teddy bear.
- What would make you happier?
(I got a visual of a spiral going right.)

Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting, however, it depends where you are in your path.
I will give this a try too. Thanks
