Listen Later

Explore the transformative power of creativity as a tool for processing emotions and reclaiming your identity after abuse. Learn how engaging in creative expression can help rewire your brain, improve your mood, and reconnect you to your true self.

We’ll dive into:

  • Why creativity is particularly powerful for survivors of trauma.
  • Insights from The Body Keeps the Score on how trauma affects brain function.
  • How creative outlets like art, writing, and movement can help you reframe your story and build resilience.
  • Overcoming perfectionism and embracing the healing power of the creative process.

This episode includes real-life examples of creative healing and actionable steps to start your own creative journey today.

Key Takeaways:

  • Creativity engages the right side of the brain, enabling you to process trauma in ways that words alone cannot.
  • Artistic expression can help you find new strengths, reframe your narrative, and celebrate progress in your healing journey.
  • You don’t need to be an artist—just willing to explore and experiment.
