#ive done tons of research on trauma in childrens art

[canadianno]

Thinking about it

Every single artist i have speak to (including the pregnancy one, ahí si me mame alv) has fuckin daddy issues

-alz, any hipotesis on that?

Oh there's definitely a connection between art and something like "daddy issues"

My best guess is that "daddy issues" is really just. Childhood trauma. And, for a child, coping with trauma- intense or not- can be really difficult. Children don't have a fully developed brain, and they often tend to go for coping mechanisms that distract them from reality, since an undeveloped brain is unable to process such big issues. Art and reading are probably the best for that, and with years of practice, most children tend to keep making art long past childhood- hence why alot of artists seem to have "daddy issues." You also tend to see it alot with writers, since reading as a coping mechanism tends to turn into storytelling as a pastime
