I remember when I was younger I was skilled in Art and Story building but due too a diabetic seizure i lost the degree of art I had but I still had my skills in story building and story making so I remember with my therapist just making these stories about my character this world and the way I felt affect said characters and worlds, I remember sometimes I would forget I was even in therapy just discussing these stories during which allowed me to express myself in a way I had always struggled too as I do have autism and extreme social anxiety but it did help, I still make characters too this day while I haven’t wrote any books or novels yet I plan on one day making it. Thank you guys for helping others out as my therapist did.
