Wire Wrapped Jewelry Therapy
Therapy? I needed therapy but let's face it,
professional therapy costs a lot of money which I don't have and spending
the additional money sent me into even worse depression than I was already
experiencing.? The purpose of therapy is to improve a persons total
well being.? Our emotional well being has a direct impact on the
physical aspect of our lives. Simply put: If we have good emotional
health the physical part of us will follow.? I'm not saying that our
emotional well being will take away all of our physical problems but it can
help us deal with the pain our body is causing. When you are
healthy emotionally you have more strength to battle all of the other
problems life hands to you.
You don't have to pay myriads of money to a
professional therapist to experience some sort of emotional well being for
yourself. The best therapy is for you to find something you are really
interested in and spend time enjoying that interest. This is my story
of the evolution of wire wrap therapy.
My Evolution of Wire Wrapped Jewelry Therapy
I have always been interested in
jewelry.? I am fascinated with the design and artistic quality which
jewelry brings to us. This has been a life long interest for me but
only in the past year has it become my therapist.
I am a wife, mother of two adult
children, and a foster parent.? My own children had left the nest when I became a foster
parent. My first foster child was 15 and had a family background which
included much abuse of all kinds. She had experienced much emotional
abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and herself was abusing drugs when she
came to live with us.? She was very angry and rebellious. She was
with us in foster care for three months when she was released back into her
mothers custody.? Her mother took her and two of her sisters, both in
other foster care homes, out of state back to where her mother had other
family members.
Three months passed and her mother called me
and asked if I would take custody of 'M'. I said I would and she came
back to live the next 5 years of her life with us. 'M' and I seemed to
click and became very close. She had stopped the drug use, was doing
great in school and had finished one year of college when everything came
crashing down. The last five years of my life had revolved around 'M'.
I spent all the time I could making sure she got what she needed to succeed
in life and leave behind her all the violence and abuse she had endured.
I did this to the extent that I was neglecting my own children and their
families and my husband.? I'll have to admit that I had pride in the
way things were going for her and patted myself on the back for being such a
positive influence on her.
Then things happened in her life that brought
to the surface all the prior issues with which she had not dealt and she got
herself back into crystal meth, the devil's drug. I warned her that if
she didn't get herself into drug rehab she would lose everything. She
did, indeed, lose everything. She was arrested and charged with over
15 drug felonies.? All of the things we had worked toward had been
flushed down the tubes.
It was after she was arrested that I was
confronted by the rest of my family about the damage the neglect done to
them during my focus on 'M' had done.? I was then faced with a
decision. I had to let 'M' go or lose the rest of my family. I
loved 'M' as though she was my own but I couldn't lose my own children for
her. After weighing all the alternatives I knew I had to sever my
relationship with 'M' and let her suffer the consequences of her own
actions. This decision
spiraled me into depression.? I couldn't eat, sleep, or get my mind off
of her. I tried to escape by surfing Ebay and buying all kinds of
stuff. But it didn't help.......Until I ran across some wire wrapped
jewelry on Ebay. I saw a piece and liked it and though to myself,
"Hmmm, I can do that!" So, off to more shopping on Ebay, only this
time it was for supplies to start experimenting with wire wrapping jewelry.
That is how wire wrapped jewelry
therapy came into existence. The more I wrapped the more my emotional
well being was being wrapped up and tied with a great big bow as a present
to myself and to the rest of my family. My mind was being shifted from
'M' to the jewelry. I began regaining some of the self confidence that
I had lost. I was becoming more focused on my own family and began
enjoying them and regaining a long lost relationship with them. Wire
wrapping jewelry didn't cost me near as much as going to a therapist would
and provided for me the best therapy around.
I fell into this by
accident and necessity. You can experience the same benefits of
therapy as I have buy trying to find something you have always been
interested in and start focusing on that instead of your issues and problems
you are having in life. You will find your emotional well being
beginning to flourish and your self confidence soar without having to spend
a lot of money on therapy. Below are some links to the jewelry my wire
wrapped jewelry therapy has produced. Although my links are to my Petite Elegance shop my intention is not to sell you anything other than to sell you on the benefits of self therapy.
