It sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring another way to learn about yourself. My T once mentioned that he wanted the little girl part of me to do a collage, but I don't know what happened to that. I guess we got sidetracked.
One of the things that your post reminded me of was a recent article I just read on childhood trauma which said that many victims do not have the capacity to have "fun" or to experience light-hearted joy. That is definitely me, though I can fake those situations when I have to. But the author mentioned art therapy along with other nontraditional forms of psychotherapy as a way to develop that skill.
Glad you're having a good experience with it!
