As a trauma therapist, I often sit with the stories that have no words.
Clients whose parts feel at war with the meaning they make of their experiences.
Sometimes, the only way to make sense of it all is through color and paper — to let the pieces speak for themselves.
This collage is a reflection of what trauma therapy can feel like: chaos, confusion, and the long road back to yourself.
And yet — in every layer — there’s hope.
A reminder that struggle isn’t failure.
That even when it’s messy, healing is happening.
Working in expressive arts therapy has taught me that creating can be a way to give wholeness to what inside feels scattered.
And sometimes, it’s also an act of remembering —
who you are beneath the pain.
