Videography and editing by Jonathan Howard.
50 minute documentary of a solo art exhibit and poetry reading by Kathleen Marmet, artist, poet and art therapy client. Hosted and facilitated by Lilla Ohrstrom, art therapist and owner of the Youngblood Art Studio art gallery.
The story of a self-initiated creative healing journey by a survivor of chronic childhood traumatization whose developmental trajectory was interrupted in infancy, and whose healing and creative process has been facilitated by a four year art therapy relationship.
Marmet was 73 years old when she began her art therapy relationship with Ohrstrom. A crisis at age 66, which she experienced as endless falling through a hole that opened beneath her feet had rendered her life unbearable. She sought help through regular psychotherapy, bodywork, neurofeedback and other modalities, including multiple experiential workshops with Bessel van Der Kolk and Licia Sky. She also persistently applied her intellectual gifts to study of the work of the many gifted scientists who have devoted their lives to the study of developmental trauma and its healing.
