Larry will be presenting yet again at the 2020 Healing Together Conference!

Creative Recovery: Exploring Alternatives in Healing from Trauma by Larry Ruhl

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and complex trauma, my healing journey has taken many twists and turns. Through writing, visual arts, and creative immersion, I have found ways to not only survive but to heal and thrive. By sharing my experience, not only as a survivor but as an artist, I find community and connection. In this show and tell presentation, we will discuss the effects of trauma and dissociation and how from that darkness, beauty, in many forms, can emerge.
