Introduction
Are you an artistic type who's gone through trauma? Then this is the podcast for you! Hi, I'm Angie. Welcome to my podcast, a past, repainted. I’ll be sharing my story of recovering from childhood sexual abuse, a 28 year addiction, and all the things I’ve done to heal from that trauma and find sobriety in my life. My Hope for You I hope that through sharing my story, you will find hope in your own story. Healing is possible. Also, if you’ve gone through a type of abuse or trauma – I am so sorry. And if you haven’t shared your story, that’s ok. We should never feel pressured to tell our story before we are ready. I didn’t tell my story for over 20 years! It will happen in its time, and everyone’s will be different. It’s never too late. A big part of what I want to talk about in this podcast is how trauma affects – really every aspect of our lives – but specifically how it affects us as artists. I’ve used art as a way to cope and heal. As I’ve gone through the process of healing from complex trauma, my art has changed. Also, with each layer that has peeled away, my nervous system has become more regulated. I was also able to create art when the abuse was still a secret. It helped to bring up emotions that I didn’t understand, or didn’t have words for. This was a really powerful tool for me at that time. Where We’re Headed Let’s see where this all goes! Hopefully over time I can have some people on to interview. Also perhaps we can have some connection to each other and help each other through these times.
