I hope you never have to find out!!!!
Seriously, that sounds so cool. My therapist doesn't (I don't think) have crayons. Pout. Although I think he's thinking about sharing an office with a child psychologist. Think of the toys!!!
When I started therapy, he was really big on my naming emotions, especially after he found out I couldn't. So I drew this really intricate color chart using the big box of crayola crayons. I could then point to the color, and I had a cross-reference of moods attached. I did several of them before I got it right, then I gave one to him and kept one. "No, no. Not red. More of a brick. That would mean resentment, not anger."
