      By dimin-ishing impulsive responses, survivors enhanced their emotionalregulation capabilities and further reinforced their sense of efficacy,as demonstrated through improved decision making and increasedagency

      art therapy aims to "diminish impulsive responses", which I think is very important because therapy in itself will not be helpful if you can't find the root of the problem. Most traumas feed on impulsivity, and how the brain responds to an individual's first thought, which can usually be negative.

      This embodi-ment was linked to the aesthetic and sensory perception of the artwork,as well as the kinesthetic and physical actions involved in manipulatingmaterials, such as clay (Skop et al., 2022). Repeating this processinvolved a sensory stimulus that enabled the women to access, express,and process a wide variety of emotions in ways that differed from talk-based therapy.

      art therapy can access different parts of the brain that talk-based therapy cannot. sensorymotor skills are activated through artmaking and aids understanding in one's emotions and how it manifests physically.

      The analysis distilled five themes that describe the role of artthroughout the recovery process, which can provide a more compre-hensive understanding of how art therapy supports the healing andgrowth of survivors: (a) Rebuilding Myself, (b) Art SymbolicallyTelling My Story, (c) Reconnecting, (d) Promoting a HealingSpace, and (e) Hoping for a Better Future.

      this is notable to me because i think remembering these 5 themes can help me aid my future patients when i'm in the art therapy field. a. rebuilding myself b. art symbolically telling my story c. reconnecting d. promoting a healing space e. hoping for a better future

      These individuals often perceive themselves as passive,guilty, or responsible for the abuse, which contributes to their fearof disclosing the trauma,

      because victims have a skewed sense of reality, they often find themselves in a place where they believe that the abuse is actually their fault, making them hesitant to speak out about said abuse. because art therapy isa nonverbal expression of therapy, these barriers can be torn down and provide a safe space for the victim in telling their story.

      While some view art as a catalyst for verbal expression(Lyshak-Stelzer et al., 2007), others argue for minimizing or evenavoiding verbal language to create a space for safe, embodied expres-sion (Khodabakhshi-Koolaee et al., 2016; Pifalo, 2006) or recom-mend adapting language to the individual’s developmental andemotional needs (Pretorius & Pfeifer, 2010).

      art therapy can be used in many ways, such as using it as a replacement for verbal expression, or a stepping stone to eventually having the ability to put their trauma into words, or a hybrid of both. this interests me because I myself, plan to become an art therapist and want to know of the many ways art therapy can be used to patients. and it's important for em to note that this method of therapy can't be utilized in the same way for everyone, and there are adjustments that need to be made to make sure every therapy session is tailored to each individual's own needs.

      reinterpret their traumathrough the lens of meaning-making, which enabled them to recon-struct beliefs in the face of seemingly senseless suffering

      understanding why and how vicitms were abused and reanalyzing that trauma can be the first step into a positive direction. I think this is very interesting because sometimes I don't think of looking at trauma in the way of looking at it from a different perspective, and it's easy to drown in your own suffering and getting into your head of "why is this happening to me?", "reinterpreting their trauma", as the articles calls it, allows the victims to take control of their own life again.

      Another key area of study explores posttraumatic growth (PTG),namely, the positive psychological changes that can emerge aftertrauma.

      it's important to study the aftermath effects of therapy as well, such as PTG, which is posttramatic growth, where victims find a "deeper appreciation of life, increased personal strength, enchanced relationships..." (page 2).

      ddressing dissociation andenabling nonverbal expression of trauma are essential for supportingrecovery from IPV.

      and this can lead to the importance of art therapy as it is a type of therapy where words do not need to be expressed. having the body go through motions and putting their thoughts into something they create with their hands can aid in the healing process.

      IPV has been increasinglyconceptualized as a form of trauma.

      3 types of trauma have arised from IPV, those being personal, relational and betrayal trauma (trust and security in relationship being violated), which in turn caused many mental, sexual and physical health problems that affect the victim's ability to function in their life.
