Coloring as a Therapy
I have a very dear friend who is married to a man that was diagnosed with bipolar disease. He recently spent time in a psychiatric facility and was there for a couple of weeks. It was really good for him to spend that time there because he was able to get a handle on some things and also learn some tools for coping. One thing he did there that he really enjoyed was coloring. He felt a little foolish telling his wife that he enjoyed coloring, but if it makes him calm, she says go for it. She found some free kids coloring pages for him and now they are both happy.
