PTSD and Art Therapy With Paint By Numbers
Feb 14, 2020 by James Leon
Our competition winner for January 2020 is Diana H. She choose a Custom MBN as her free painting.
Diana has sent us many of her wonderful paintings over the last few months. We love to see new paintings and hear more about our customers. We were amazed when Diana shared her story and what brought her to Masterpiece by Numbers.
Diana has used art therapy to help with PTSD. She continued painting MBNs after the art therapy had ended.
Diana was kind enough to write to us and share here story:
''I have worked in law enforcement for the last 23 years. Recently, I have gone through two back to back critical incidents, one of which was the death of my colleague.
I have been off work for the last six months receiving treatment for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I was sent to a six week PTSD recovery program, and art therapy was a part of the treatment. The facilitators encouraged me to continue with art after the conclusion of the program.
Your company and products have been a God send as it gave me something to focus on during some very dark and lonely moments. Thank you for offering such an amazing product.' - Diana H, California'
Diana continues to paint MBNs. We are so happy to be a small part of her recovery.
