Stress, Exhaustion, and Soap Therapy

[gigisiguenza]

I have ptsd and a brain injury, soaping helps me in many ways. Not only does it make me practice focusing, memory, and being in the present but it is an escape from the humdrum day to day living for me. I love seeing a finished project, i love the process and cognitive aspect of soaping and crafting. This is me and I absolutely love it <3 There is something deep, spiritual in creating something and mastering that creativity outlet. <3

I agree I find a sense of personal solace and contentment in creative arts that I cannot get from any other aspect of my life. When the rest of my world feels chaotic and frustrating and stressful, creative outlets let me disconnect from all of it for a little while, and I feel more centered afterwards, better able to deal with my reality again.
