Expressing your thoughts & feelings is beneficial. Whether you write, speak or draw, putting them into words gives them a form that makes it easier for you to "see" them. When they're no longer hidden, their effect on you can also be exposed & healed.

​When someone oversteps your personal boundaries, what do you say?
​

consider acceptable -
​but then you may struggle to find & speak the words to tell them how you feel.
