” I began to realize that I was using symbols to explore parts about myself, my friends and community. I collaged poems and tell stories with my papers and glue, making little altars for those I loved”
” Using photos, cutting letters to make words and integrating color developed my Wisdom deck in no time; realizing all the while that metaphor was magically helping me get to the core of unwanted patterns in my life. ” When I began to realize that there were many beautiful parts of my persona as well as those not so appealing, I learned to weave the whole process together. This therapy brought me to the realization that many parts make up the whole person”.
