I want to talk about rape but I’m not really sure where to start. I only have three sessions left with my current therapist. We’ve been working together for about eight months, yet it’s only in the last three sessions that I’ve been able to voice anything further than, “So that happened” or discuss what…
By RACHEL BOLTON Am I doing enough? Or rather, am I doing enough art? I use the term art loosely here. Art is music, drawing and painting, singing, acting, and writing.
