Frida herself once explained that she painted all those self-portraits because she felt alone.
More than wanting to channel physical suffering, she needed to meet someone to explain how she felt, and that person was none other than herself. The example of Frida Kahlo's life and attitude shows us something very concrete:
Creativity is a vehicle, it is an exceptional mechanism capable of helping us not only restructure pain, but also channel suffering.
Expressive therapies such as painting, writing or composition are also a way of finding ourselves to take care of ourselves and recover emotional stability.
