Perfectionism is the nemesis of creativity. In making this first drawing there’s a struggle to allow the ink drip, it’s a mistake. Already an apparent need to tightly control things surfaces along with the reluctance to accept that to truly heal we must be open to the unattractive, painful and negative parts of ourselves and our lives. That’s what makes therapy so painful - facing it all. Sabi suggests I read The Dance of Fear by Harriet Lerner where control is described as “an illusion - a fact you will learn very fast if you become ill, or have things fall apart in some other way. When we understand vulnerability and suffering as an essential part of being human, our individual fate can be easier to manage". Read more about the Mental Health project here.
