Trauma utišava svoje žrtve, govori kreativna umjetnička terapeutkinja Melissa Walker, ali umjetnost može pomoći onima koji pate od psiholoških rana rata da se počnu otvarati i na taj način liječiti. U ovom nadahnjujućem govoru, Walker opisuje kako pravljenje maski, u stvari, dopušta pogođenim vojnicima i vojnikinjama da otkriju što ih progoni – i da se, naposlijetku, počnu liječiti.

Umjetnost može liječiti nevidljive rane posttraumatskog stresnog poremećaja.

The psychological scars of war often remain hidden, leaving many service members silent and isolated for years. Through mask-making and other creative art therapies, wounded veterans have found powerful ways to externalize and process their trauma. One man named his recurring vision 'BFIB' and, by creating a mask, was able to contain and eventually release its hold. Over 1,000 masks have since been crafted, each giving a face to pain that words alone could not express.
