This drawing was made by a teenager with severe hemophilia A, when asked to express what he felt about his hemophilia. He expressed a common sensation:
Pain, felt from several hemarthroses he endured.Pain was a sensation he had to face repeatedly.
The tree with red fruits, which also seem to be drops of blood,represent his hope. Because although it is blood it is a tree with life in it. The Pain is illustrated by the black, dry and empty tree.depois-da-dor.jpg
Psychologist Irene Fuchs In Buenos Aires Argentina(http://www.hemofiliarte.com.ar) has a wonderful work with relaxation techniques. Relaxing is a state of mind, spirit and body that can be learned. And when a person relaxes, pain can be dealt with and lived in a different perspective.

Este desenho foi feito por um jovem com hemofilia A grave, quando expressou seus sentimentos a respeito da hemofilia.
Dor, foi a sensação mais difícil para encarar depois de inúmeras hemartroses. A esperança de poder lidar com a dor de uma maneira mais legal aparece no desenho da árvores com frutas, que também parecem gotas de sangue. Más a Dor é vivida como seca, nua. Uma árvore preta e sem vida.
A psicóloga Irene Fuchs em Buenos Aires, (www.hemofiliarte.com.ar) tem realizado um trabalho maravilhoso com técnicas de relaxamentos nos pacientes com hemofilia. Relaxarse é um estado de espirito, de corpo que pode se alcançar com a prática.
Focar en sí mesmo, na sua propria capacidade de encarar a dor e de lidar com ela proporciona uma sensação real de independência.
