The importance of art therapy is both seen and felt, in the hands of the creators, the arms of the clinicians, and the lives of the community. Neurologically, our trauma is stored in feeling states connected to our senses. Our tougher and best memories have color, texture, shape, and smell. Our ability to verbally process these moments can be stifled by our trauma, nervous system, and access to safe spaces. Having a clinician facilitate a space to do this, share this, and hold this safely  is crucial to the lives of those who are differently abled, neurologically challenged, and those just seeking another way to heal!
