How does my therapist make me talk about all the trauma I’ve gone through when we always start out coloring? What sorcery do therapists have??

I was just thinking about it because how does the subject even come up without me realizing it 😳

The actual psychology behind it is your brain is in concentration mode, it detaches from the overwhelming thoughts to focus on the colouring, leaving you disarmed. It's easier to engage in otherwise distressing memories when you're in a playful state
