I love being an art therapist, helping others find a new way to relate to themselves and others, on a  wandering journey of discovery, uncertainty and trust in what cannot always been described with words.  
You learn to listen.  To trust your gut, your instinct, your inner art-maker, your empathy, your inner seeker of balance, your humanity.  Time, and timing.  Theres a lot of similarity between making art and making relationships:  in one we can practise elements we need for the other.
