Art therapy

I am thinking to do some art therapy.  I always said that being creative and working with my hands are my own therapy.   Be it jewelry making, knitting, writing or photography.  I now feel it is time that I take a step further.  Usually, psychologists are doing their work with their patient while talking, in a conversation.  I had done that in the past.  My problem with talking is there is some translation to be made on my part, sometimes.  When I get ideas, they often comes in a visual form first, this is why there is some translation to be made.  My mind work that way: with images, feelings and sensation, words can comes last.

This is why I am thinking to go for art therapy.  Instead of talking, there are the creation and making of something, like a drawing, for example.  It is usually used with children and it work well with them.  Until recently, I haven't realized or thought that it could be used with adult.  I have stumble on this site on a art therapy association (http://www.aatq.org/en/home).  I am in the process of looking at the therapists listed on the site.

I am curious about what would come out of what I create.  My nose is right into my creations, so I can't feel good in taking a step back and see what someone else is seeing.  I feel the need to see what a profesionnal see in what I am making.  Maybe that person will be able to translate my imagery.  I think I could get something concrete out of it.  I want to know where I am going creatively.  Doing so may help me feel less of a jack of all trade...
