I’ve got these two pen and ink self portraits that I drew soon after I graduated college, around the fall of 2004. I was feeling very lost in life, not sure what to do next. Maybe you’ve been in a similar situation…I had spent the previous 17 or 18 years as a student. My identity was very much wrapped up in that role. So, now that I’d graduated and didn’t have a firm career plan laid out (or, let’s be honest, I had exactly zero career plans), who was I? Where was my place in the world?...

Those portraits I did of that young version of Jennifer…I pulled them out the other day, and then attempted to create a present-day version. And that’s what I want to share with you today.

You’ll hear art therapist and coach, Jennifer Kramer, share a glimpse into her unique art and writing process that helps women redefine their identity after narcissistic abuse, one drawing or painting at a time. Jennifer also invites you to imagine what encouraging words your Future Self may have for you today.
