Who Gets Access to You? an art therapy exploration 

​Not everything needs to be shared with everyone, but it can be hard to know where to draw the line. This session focuses on how we decide what to share, how much, and with whom.

​We’ll explore the question: does everyone really need access to you? Using a guided therapeutic art activity, we’ll map out what feels right for us and start to build a clearer sense of our own boundaries when it comes to being seen.

A lot of us aren’t actually being ourselves, we’re being the version of us that feels most acceptable.

We’ve gotten really good at reading the room, smoothing out conversations, and adjusting to avoid being judged or misunderstood. In a culture shaped by constant comparison, it’s easy to lose track of what we actually think, feel, or want. For a lot of people, this shows up online too, overthinking what to post, holding back, or feeling anxious about being seen at all.

Off-Screen Hours drop-ins is an art-based group in the weekend for a space to slow that down. Through curated creative prompts led by a qualifying art therapist and counsellor, we’ll explore how you tend to show up, where you might be over-adjusting, and what being more like yourself could look like in a way that still feels comfortable.

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of what feels true for you, more confidence in what you choose to share and with whom, and a few small, realistic ways to show up more like yourself, both online and in everyday life.

No art experience needed, just curiosity.
