I am a survivor of childhood/teenage and adult sexual and all kinds of abuse. I have been on an intense healing journey for 25yrs so far, having done amazing and very deep work with various therapists; bodywork,spiritual,drama therapy and my own work which is a lot. When I discovered art therapy I felt new hope. It was so brilliant to be able to release and express and even transform my unbearable and powerfaul emotions through making art. It played a big part in saving my life I think. I would like to get back into doing it again as, after years of deep work I am still left with a lot of trauma..that didn’t shift..and I feel stuck in it so my life is stuck. I’m now working with a Tantric Therapist and psychotherapist and she is amazing, so my feelings are coming to the surface big time now which is tough going so art therapy would really support my healing. I hope I can find someone who can help me here in Ireland. I am unable to work due to cronic pain so I couldn’t pay much. Please help.

This sounds like a wonderful program. I am a survivor. I was raped by an ex boyfriend and I refuse to let that memory break my spirit. I recently did a painting for abuse and it was such a release of anger. I will continue to smile and live my life. If anyone would like to see my painting, you can visit http://beautybeans.imagekind.com/paintings

Thank you for your post and god bless,

Hello. My name is Cathe Douglas and I want to tell you about a competition by the Guggenheim Museum and YouTube. It is called “Play” (www.YouTube.com/play) and I believe that it is an amazing opportunity for all survivor artists.
We could all unite and become a powerful force that will end the abuse of children around this world for once and for all. We can take on the systems that have permitted these atrocities against children to continue. Please feel free to view my video submission (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QOAFo0IVeM) to the Guggenheim. Remember that it is a narrative, so turn up the sound.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and to share this with your network and I look forward to meeting artists in October, 2010 in New York City.

Hello,
I am a junior Art major at Davidson College looking for opportunities for this summer. I am interested in going abroad in order to work with rape victims in the area of art therapy. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions of organizations outside of the United States that are within this realm. If you could email me back any suggestions you might have I would appreciate it: alford@davidson.edu. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have,
Alanna Ford

Marian,
I noticed your question about how to publish a book containing all the elements you listed and I have recently discovered a website that provides just what you are looking for- I believe. The website is blurb.com. On this site, anyone can create their own book, purchase the first copy, and then share it with the world! You can input any images, text, etc in the way and format that you want. Check it out and see if it provides what you are looking for.
