On this episode I share the moment my healing journey began. As a result of going to graduate school to study Art Therapy and being exposed to such vulnerability my trauma finally felt safe enough to come to the surface. During my first residency I started to express my darkness for the very first time through art and poetry. Then on this episode I decided to share some of that artwork and poetry with you!

Key Takeaways:

• Realizing you can create something beautiful out of something terrible
• Discussing the shame society often puts on survivors of sexual abuse
• You are exactly where you are meant to be
• You do not have to know what you are doing with art to be able to express yourself
• Through every bit of healing trauma is no longer taking control over my life
• Separation is an illusion
