Sometimes recovery can’t be verbalized. If someone has been suppressing their emotions through addiction for long enough, they may not know how to say “I feel angry” or that they are sad, lonely, hurt, even happy. That’s where creative expression comes in. Through art, music, and writing, people can show us how they feel. And then the healing begins. This particular group was Stress Management. You’ll notice it says management and not eradication. Because stress is going to be there - it is part of life and recovery - but the good news is that there are healthy ways we can deal with it! #wedorecover #arttherapy #expressionthroughart #expressyourfeelings #portlandtreatment #recoveryinmaine
