Why call it Panic Attack Paints?

A few years ago I found myself in a severely abusive relationship that ended with me in the ER. I needed urgent surgery to replace my orbital floor and to have an implant placed where my tooth had been knocked out. I lived with flash backs, panic attacks and night terrors for over a year before I decided to seek counseling. I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression all because I allowed a man to hurt me this badly, physically and mentally.
One night after a night terror, I woke up feeling the panic attack on its way.
By this point, I was sick of allowing that relationship to have so much control over my life.I wanted to be me again.
Not a victim. Not a survivor. Just me.
So this time I reached for a canvas and the closest paint I had and began painting. From that I felt control again. I felt empowered. I felt SAFE.

These paintings have saved my life and I hope they can impact you too!
