Thanks, gg! I think it's especially helpful for people like me who have dissociative disorders, even if on the milder end of them, because so much is unconscious in those. It's a great way to talk without speaking, and the art therapist seems to be very intuitive about picking up what's happening beneath the surface. She just allows me to experience it while she remains empathic and fairly silent. But I think she gives quite detailed verbal interpretations to the analyst. I'm sure to find out more about this aspect as time goes by!
