Addiction Recovery: Express Your Emotions with Colors; An Exercise
from Bookends of Recovery: A Podcast About Addiction, Betrayal Trauma & Healing · host Laura
If talking about your feelings gives you a knot in your stomach, worry not my Superstars, I’ve got a solution for you: use a color exercise instead. Your emotions have a whole rainbow of colors of their own, and tapping into them can be a powerful way to check in with yourself without overthinking. So, grab some paper, colored pencils (or, whatever you can find in your junk drawer), and let’s get expressive. If colors don’t resonate with you, replace it with animals or objects. If you have any questions, please let me know. Find more tips and tools in my book. Sending everyone happy and healthy vibes,LauraPlease note: This podcast is for education only and is not a replacement for therapy. I suggest you seek the help of a trained professional for your specific situation. Here are some resources to help you get started.
