I glimpsed a little part of art therapy from this book. It inspired me and lit the roads that I’d never gone before. I had learned how to draw and tried to improve my painting skills for several years but lost myself in the heavy work like bees.
Art therapy is not about whether you have lots of skills or how great or bad you paint the pictures. Through a therapist's guide, everyone could create a world that only belongs to you on the papers and invite your therapist to come.
One builds his kingdoms by pen and another one sees the sounds that reality,deeply inside the heart from pictures. Then they finished the picture together at that very moment and place. Magical effects will happen. People can always hide feelings by mouth but can never hide their mind in their own kingdoms.
Since I read the book, I started to have mute conversations with every king who opened his own island, to see their sounds from many sides, to involve myself into either their merry or sullen notes they perform on the blank canvas. How varied and wonderful it is!
Besides, this book drove me to learn Japanese to N1 level. Because it let me met one of my favorite therapist 河合隼雄. I read all his Chinese books as much as I could buy but still have a lot of books that only have Japanese versions. So I started to learn.
I even found some of his articles appearing in N1 textbooks. That little discovery made me so excited. Before that, I never thought I would attend any language test. A book and a chance cause a cluster effect in my life.
