Amy Parker’s borderline personality disorder diagnosis answered a lot of questions she’s always had: Why can’t I control my emotions? Why can’t I make friends? Why am I so impulsive? Why am I sometimes destructive? Why are these things always happening to me?
Building a suite of tools and coping techniques has been a game-changer for mother-of-three Amy, who has loved art ever since she was a little girl. 

Art provides Amy much needed respite from her busy brain, which she says is often difficult to quieten.


‘Salubrious’ by definition means 'beneficial to the health of body and/or mind'. This piece is reflective of how far I have come on my recovery journey. I am in bloom, I am flourishing, and I am growing. Darkness, sadness, and confusion has been replaced with optimism, hope, and a desire to shine and emerge gracefully from the darkness. Beauty can still reveal itself from the shadows, as long as a spark remains within.
