the recovering body
What most people do not understand about abuse is the immense pain and suffering that lingers in the bodies and souls of those who have endured that trauma. Life is no longer the same. Our bodies which house our hearts and provide safety are violated.
This book utilizes various forms of artistic voice to convey the struggles of life after trauma. As artists, poets and writers our voices come from the pain we have endured and what we hope to share is that healing is by no means easy, but necessary. Often we may not remember all the details, but still, feel it all.
For countless individuals, we learned that we could survive events and the emptiness that comes with the loss of self—but the pain doesn't lessen in time. Our works utilize the creative power of art, poetry and writing to iterate the experiences of pain. and recovery Throughout this book, the artists involved hope to communicate that life can carry on after such horrific trauma and promote the message of prevention as that is the most effective way for no one should ever suffer from such pain.
