VCUG vent art

hi everyone! i posted here for the first time like 2 months ago, and this community has been super important for me. about 2 months ago, i did some art with the goal of taking a step in the processing journey. i’m definitely not an artist, but i wanted to share it because it did help

i know you can’t read all the writing (again im not an artist and was doing this more on feeling than technique. the yellow represents 4yo me, the purple and green are my parents, and the red represents the VCUG trauma itself as well as those restraining me at the time. the yellow writing (from left to right) says “don’t make me”, “let me go”, and “i don’t want to” (and the giant “NO” that was not listened to). the purple and green writing says “i’m so sorry”. the black void is both the examination room and the inside of my brain

just wanted to share a step in my healing journey that i hope resonates with at least one other person

posted here before a couple months ago i think. i am not even remotely an artist but lately i have been experimenting with drawing to process some trauma and this one was based on fragmented memories of my experience with cocsa
