What people experience
—William, Florida
“Coloring has helped me move through intense emotions and find the language to express what’s happening internally for me to my therapist. I’ve made a lot of progress in a short amount of time.”
—amber, Colorado
“I’ve been able to release stuck emotions and move forward instead of staying trapped in my head. ”
—Malerie, Michigan
“I used to spiral easily and needed someone to listen to my feelings before I would listen to myself. Now, I’m able to listen to myself and not trauma dump on others!”
—Christina, Missouri
“I was surprised at how insightful my colorings can be, even when they’re minimal. I gain a lot of valuable information about myself, no matter how detailed the coloring is.”
