Embodied Collage™

Description: Embodied Collage™ is a visual-symbolic healing method created from clinical trauma repair work and embodied psychotherapy. Clients use simple materials such as stickers, scraps, textures, and paper to layer images that reflect their inner world. The process engages the body’s felt sense and emphasizes safe play, nervous system regulation, and the development of personal resources. Collages may represent coping strategies, supportive figures, safe containers for overwhelming thoughts, calming places, or other individualized anchors for resilience. The work continues beyond sessions in journals, creating a lasting witness and resource for healing.
