Paint Release is an interactive form of creative healing that transfers trapped energy onto a canvas. Mental/emotional blocks are released from the psyche and turned into a unique painting during a safe, comfortable one-on-one session. Releasees keep the painting afterward as a symbol of what was freed.

An anonymous excerpt from this release:

"I felt very divided when I was scanning my body. I felt this huge break down the middle. It feels like I have to switch between two entities and they’re not joining together. This brought up a lot of my childhood and my parents dynamic. I need to to release the way I cope and interact with femininity and masculinity.

The last time I saw my father was when I was 14 years old. It was in court. I had to tell officials I didn’t feel safe around my father. Now, I take on a masculine role at home to provide my mother with a man of the house type of energy. This has been constant. I adapt out in the world by being feminine because that’s how my mother taught me to survive. I connect to it but feel wrong for it because my dad was always highlighting how my mother and women in general are whores, and any expression of femininity means you’re bad in some way.

There was a hard push from my mother to be feminine and a hard push from my father to be masculine, and I feel like that’s what created the duality heaving out of me. I tend to look for love in men to try to somehow heal this wound with my father and with masculinity. I’ve tried to replace my dad several times with archetypes of people that remind me of him.

I want to embrace my authentic feminine and masculine power and return to my body. I want to embody real, authentic confidence, not false confidence based on how I look. Both energies are deep wells and not something to copy and paste onto myself. I want to unify this duality and feel happy. Purely happy."
