Abstract

Situating art therapy within a cultural feminist postmodern framework, has taught me how valuable it is to re-write and re-image our histories, so that we are not imprisoned in the story. Veronique's art therapy process was a creative re-writing, imaging, and singing her song alive, which grieved the loss of her innocence. In honouring her grief she was able to embrace life again, and give personal and collective meaning to her suffering. This article has attempted to contextualise the impact of real relationships on psychic life. My therapeutic experience of relationship with Veronique, represented a most profound encounter with another, which was about grounding the journey of exploring the emotional waters of the heart and finding the place of soul.
