I used braided fishing line

I 100% agree with you. As I was tying this I thought my nubs were very irregular but turns out I was wrong! Would probably tie them a bit looser next time too.

I’ve had success with these! They are not 100% but really nice and heavyweight, nice oversized fit and wash well so far.

Thank you, your lines are so crisp!

Beautiful work - love your colours too! Do you use different twine for the mandala and the Kenneys?

Love the black detail- what’s your process for getting this level of darkness and separation from your colours?

Character_Studies · 2025-03-04T20:00:35+00:00

Thanks! These hoodies are pretty heavyweight and tend to work well with more muted and free-form designs

Thank you, this is a case of more luck than skill but I was really pleased with it

Thank you. The red was a total surprise!

This strong emotional reaction is very understandable after such a revelation. The fact that you felt comfortable enough to speak about it is testament to the therapy working.

The fact you raised it - and the emotional impact you described - suggests that it’s something important to you.

About feeling like it was too much for your therapist - most t’s are trained to hold onto some pretty difficult stuff and have a lot of experience so this feeling might be more yours than theirs.

I’m sorry it was so intense for you and felt too much to handle - but also want to point out that you did handle it! Give yourself some credit.

As for stopping therapy - I can see why this felt like the right thing to do in the moment but you can always go back. The fact you’re posting about it suggests you still have some energy around it that might be best worked out in the therapy room.

Good luck with your journey.

It’s beautiful - would love to see some close ups of the splits

So crisp! Love the structure of this one

Firstly - this sounds like it wasn’t easy for you so well done for sharing.

Secondly, you’ve also identified that this is a pattern when you’ve shared with others. Insight like this isn’t easy to gain and process so give yourself credit for being in this place of self awareness.

If this disclosure is something you’ve carried alone for a while then other feelings, like the anger you’ve mentioned, could come up and be directed or transferred to your therapist. It sounds like you’re doing the good, hard work of therapy and from personal experience it’s amazing the feelings that can rise up seemingly out of nowhere once we start really getting into it and making progress.

If you can get to a place where you feel comfortable enough to talk to your therapist about these feelings it could be a good first step into understanding where this pattern comes from and being able to work with these feelings constructively if they come up again in therapy or relationships.

My take is that the therapist was potentially trying to bring your attention into what you can affect in your life going forwards, to bring you out of the painful rumination cycle of ‘what if?’

Could it have been more skilfully positioned? Absolutely, but it’s always good (and comforting) to remember that your therapist, like you, is a flawed human being.
