Art can be a powerful force in overcoming pain – both emotional and physical. In Episode #8, Mama Judy and I share our experiences in practicing art as a way to heal from past traumas.
When a person engages in the act of creation, we often shift our attention away from pain. Diversion is useful in this way and can lessen the severity of our suffering.
But art can also help by taking the opposite approach – by sharpening our focus on our pain. In this episode, we talk about ways to encourage the expression of whatever it is that ails us and making artistic use of that expression.
Not only do we benefit from bringing problems to the light where they can be more easily examined, but our art benefits from the dark and rich texture this beautiful layer provides!
Our goal for this episode is to share our experiences using art as a form of healing from trauma in the hope that you might learn something that will bring you healing, too.
