I think this is a great idea. I've been dealing with similar stuff in therapy lately. I've had some pain from a recent event that seems to originate from when I was really little. When I access those feelings, I can't articulate a darn thing. It just feels really young. It seems to help (eventually) to at least acknowledge those really strong preverbal feelings. I've spent many sessions with my T, and alone, just sobbing with a really raw, unorganized pain.
And I do do art therapy with my T. I find that it's really helpful at the times when you just can't articulate something. I've been drawing lots of holes, and pits, and tangles. I'm not sure that I understand why it helps, but it really does seem to.
much luck with this!
