“When we do not have words to convey our sensations, feelings, or thoughts, we cannot simply 'name it to tame it'. But we can use implicit communication -- movement, rhythm, sound, image, enactment, and play -- to 'express it to address it'.
This is the transformative and restorative role of expressive arts, to provide a voice when language is unavailable or impossible.”
​
- Dr. Cathy Malchiodi, trauma-informed expressive arts therapist and researcher
