Making it all real?

Have you ever tried art (sketching, painting, etc) so that certain parts could have something tangible to view and process. Some of my son's parts were actually taught to draw (Like a professional artist) and recently decided to share their work with me and other parts. The images are quite revealing and graphic but it is his reality. One of my son's parts who did not experience the horror that others did and quite honestly didn't believe or care what others inside said they experienced was awakened to the harsh reality of all they endured. This enabled him to have empathy for everyone inside. Much progress was made I am happy to say.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the idea, Reilly. Obviously it has had amazing results with your son! We're pretty lame with drawing, lacking the ability to even sketch anything much beyond stick figures, lol. But we have used art in the past, also collages, and this reminds me to broaden my view and options. There may be some inside who would prefer to tell their stories that way, good artists or no. I appreciate the feedback.
