The question of curing is another all together as everyone is different and responds individually to different therapies.

I have been working as a sculptor for over thirty years but due to my breast cancer just over two years ago I have had to stop lifting heavy work but I couldn't survive without art so I am now doing lots more drawings which stops me from thinking dark thoughts but also about the experience..... Art is the only therapy for me too.

What once haunted me to paint is what I now do for a living. Not only have I found a career but the only therapy that works for me. Medications and counselling have not done their best towards my well being until I discovered the paint brush. I am looking to pursue a degree in art therapy soon when I have enough finances.
