By integrating poetic practices into therapy, it fosters collective healing and supports identity development. Poetry’s rhythm and structure can help individuals process and express emotions, leading to improved mental health outcomes. It allows clients to embrace conflicting feelings and embodies cultural wisdom and storytelling that resonate deeply with personal narratives and communal experiences.
Poetry therapy is the clinical practice of using poetic tools to support emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and identity development, especially relevant for BIPOC clients.
