Ceramics offer therapeutic benefits for sexual abuse survivors by providing a tactile outlet for expression and healing. Working with clay allows survivors to process trauma non-verbally, reclaim agency over their bodies, and cultivate a sense of safety and empowerment. The hands-on nature of ceramics promotes grounding and embodiment, helping survivors reconnect with their physical selves. Through shaping and molding clay, survivors can externalize their experiences and find validation, resilience, and strength on their healing journey.
