at the end, when she draws “help me” on her stomach, there is a scene in the exorcist that has the same thing happening..only it’s the possessed girl trying to tell the priest she’s trapped inside. this woman either saw the movie, which i think she did, but is also conveying that she is trapped and possessed in her own body, sadly. hope her therapy is a success.

My undergrad work …
My undergrad work was in general studies. You do not need a major or minor in psychology or art. Typically you will need a few psychology classes, including abnormal psych and some studio art, usually 4 or 5 to get into a grad program. Check with the programs in your area, requirements can differ.
You do not have to be artistically gifted.
The license is not something to worry about until after you graduate with your masters.

You would need a masters degree to be an Art Therapist as well as your license(s). It would be best to major in Art & minor in Psychology or major in Psychology with a minor in Art for your Bachelors degree. Graduate programs look for that background. Good Luck!

This is why I want to be an Art Therapist. I had tears in my eyes watching this girl writing “help me”. The way her hand loosens at the end. Like she has lost the strength within. It is also good to see people get the help they need and deserve.

Thanks for posting.
Good luck to everyone who is going through what she is. May you find a caring person and inner strength.
