The Core and Flow: Internal Mental States

I've shared a somewhat similar drawings emphasizing a sense of internal harmony and safety. I wrote about the role of drawing in healing and the need for finding balance. I certainly don't always have a sense of an internal protected core, but I am finding that I am learning how to achieve it and how to maintain it. Communication and collaboration are the keys.

The first thing that struck me about this piece of artwork is that it's very similar to some of the work that we did while hospitalised a couple of years ago. If I can find it I'll scan it for you to have a look at. We didn't have the protected core that you have here, but rather a series of coloured areas that to one of us represented a swirl of protection over and around the ones needing protection.

Thought provoking work Paul. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Take care
B.

Hi Paul,

I like how all the colors are connected to the inner area. So beautiful with the flowy feeling. I know that inside feeling and it is lovely.

Welcome

"Healing from Trauma and Dissociation"

I'm Paul, a father, husband, scientist, educator, photographer and musician.

Mind Parts was created in September 2008 after a giant leap occurred in my healing journey of over 15 years. The site consists of my own insights on the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, namely trauma stress and the full spectrum of dissociative coping mechanisms. I explore the healing process in a variety of ways, using creative contributions of original art, photography, poetry, and music as well as, hopefully, though-provoking essays. It's decidedly not a journal, though I do keep electronic and handwritten private ones. If I do write about personal experiences, it's with the goal of relating them to a larger theme. Comments are very much welcomed as I relish the opportunity to share with other survivors or anyone interested in these issues. If you prefer, you may contact me offline. My belief is that sites like these can contribute by offering unique perspectives and knowledge, thereby enhancing opportunities not only for survivors but for readers and society as a whole. Namaste!
