Abstract: Utilizing Adlerian principles of Gemeinschaftsgefühl, belonging, and collective reflection, my work leverages the healing powers of the creative self to help survivors of sex ual violence. In 2014, one of my poems ignited a global social justice movement to upend vic tim blaming. This experience highlighted the potential of writing as a tool for social justice. In 2022, I developed writing workshops designed to enable survivors to reclaim their stories. These workshops provide a safe space for creative expression, fostering healing and belonging. Participants realize they are not defined by their trauma but can determine the meaning of their experiences. This reflective narrative examines the intersection of personal and profes sional growth within my Adlerian journey, shaped by my experiences with trauma and h ealing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
