In reply to Fingerpainting Therapy? Do I Seem That Crazy?, posted by Poet on August 23, 2006, at 13:37:23
> I saw Dr. Clueless yesterday. She said I should try fingerpainting, only she didn't say fingerpainting. She described pouring paint on paper and moving it around with my fingers to take out some of my anger and frustrations. She suggested black and red paint.
>
> I graduated from kindergarten I know what fingerpainting is. Evidentally I can't be trusted with sharp instruments like a paintbrush or wicker for basketweaving.
>
> I told her point blank I am NOT doing this. She said, well, you don't have to do everything I suggest. Damn straight.
>
> I didn't say any fingerpaint art work in her office, maybe she puts them on her refrigerator at home. Or her other patients think she's the crazy one.
>
> I honestly am insulted by this. Next time I see her I think I'll wrap a poem around my nice red stress ball and bounce it off her head.

****Ahhh Poet, you SO made my day!!!!!
She's proly trying to get in touch with your inner child or something.
HA! I DO have inner kids, but if my T said that to me I'd FREAK. Hell my inner kids would freak. Mebbe with delight. But personally I would sh*t my pants laughing.
Like literally!
OMG!
Now when ever I start going down that road I don't wanto go down, I'm gonna imagine my T suggesting I fingerpaint, and suggesting how, and what colors, and imagine her serious face, and imagine her putting it on her fridge... and LMAO!!!.
That being said I don't wanto belittle your T. She proly meant well, and its proly a useful technique, but from what I know of you, Poet, ITS SO FUNNY!!!!
Mebbe you SHOULD fingerpaint, mebbe it'll be like some crazy trip and will help you. You never know. If nothing else you can laugh yourself silly.
I wish you were near me and we could both do it.
Aagh!
We could expire from laughing, so mebbe not such a good idea. LOL.
Thanks for sharing,
Don't be insulted.
