![]() Anyone struggling with PTSD can benefit using art to heal trauma. (Please share with anyone you know touched by this). The healing and repair from art making is an accessible process for all ages, cultures, genders and health conditions to express and manage deep unspeakable feelings related to PTSD and trauma. Art expression through color, image and texture give voice to that held deep within and hold the initial impressions of trauma events. Our mind attempts to make sense of them (now a secondary experience) and can block core feelings from only having verbal acknowledgment, which often doesn’t reach the root problems. Art materials help the internal experience communicate with the senses. They portray the ‘truths’ and result in validation which leads to better self esteem. Others can see your picture that says a 1000 words, creating a sense of belonging and lessen feelings of isolation that accompany PTSD symptoms. Deep art healing begins with a safe and accurate portrayal between self & trauma event. Making the pain beautiful develops a relationship with self that encourages self respect, acceptance and healing. Heal with your visual voice !!!! Art Heals!!!!
