There's a reason I offer as much variety of art materials as I can.

‘Emotional granularity' is a term I came across a few years ago that has been with me since.
It is the ability to describe your emotional state with precision. Or rather 'granular' precision. A skill that enables you to have a finer grasp of your experience, and in turn opens up a clearer set of choices and tools you can adopt to move through and move on.

Rather than lumping our emotions into one word that rids our experience of its depth and intricacy, we'd be able to dissect and discern what this experience is creating within us and as such have a deeper sense of what we need to counter, or hold, or act upon.
Our choices of action when we're feeling vaguely 'angry' will be different than if we were feeling 'ashamed', 'disempowered' or 'afraid'.

Offering a range of art materials aligns with wanting to assist my clients in finding what closely resembles and reflects their emotional state, potentially reaching that sense of accuracy.

Through the materials, we try to meet our experience as close as we can.

And many times, we're surprised.
