When they see it on a canvas, it's not living in their soul anymore, right, right, they've taken it from their soul and onto their canvas so they can separate themselves from the traumatic events. And so it's a...great addition to talk therapy, yes, healing from any shame, any stigma, any disease, anything is connection.
