Mandalas As Art Therapy:

Mandalas are traditionally based on symmetry and precision which gave me a sense of control that I was severely craving, but the shapes and the colors could be anything and I just let them flow in whatever way they wanted to come out. It was this amazing sense of balance and discipline while also being completely free.
