What can happen to a person who has suffered violence? What are the consequences of a common but often silent experience? And what role can art play in all this?
The second episode, “those unrealized words”
The assumption is only one: the Psychological and emotional pain is still too often underestimatedbecause it leaves no obvious signs but changes the way those who look at the world. And even when the violence is over, the wound remains.
The first part of the second episode of the podcast “good luck” is concentrated on psychological effects of violence and abuse on a minor. He is Dr. Anna Rita Verardo, a psychologist and psychotherapist specialized in childhood trauma and adults, to illustrate different interesting aspects related to trauma and gender violence: from the trauma that leaves non -visual tracesbut behavioral, emotional and even physical to the ways in which children highlight the unfavorable experiences that are different from adults.
And not only that: the Post-traumatic stress disorder is underlying in childrenprecisely because it is difficult to recognize, and the Trauma reactionsof course, they depend on factors such as age, continuity of violence and identity of the abusant (if a stranger, a family member or a close person). Sometimes the answers are “silent for a long time and then suddenly something happens that reactivates everything”.
Furthermore, in children victims of violence, the phenomenon of dissociationa useful mechanism in the moment of trauma but not controllable at will. THE dissociated memories They can re -emerge suddenly, also through physical sensations.
Dr. Verardo then makes unplugging between rape and abuse:
The rape is considered a Single and occasional eventoften recognizable and identifiable. The victims can self-collide (e.g. “If I had not gone from there”) or not tell for shame or a more primitive sense of helplessness.
THE’abuse It is an event that It happens within the known world (eg from a family member or emotional figure). This radically changes the representations of the victim Regarding the figures that can be trusted, upsetting the balance, the sense of self and the representation of the world, influencing subsequent relationships.
A crucial point is that When the reference or emotional figure becomes a source of danger, the world of internal security collapsesleading to the feeling of “no longer being able to trust anyone”.
What role can art play?
The second part of the episode of the podcast “good luck” is entirely dedicated to the actress Valeria Solarinowhich shares its reflections on different crucial issues, often connected to the role of art and education in the fight against gender violence.
The actress, in fact, expresses the desire and instinct to use her voice to deal with themes that are close to her and that hears urgent, also through social media.
The role of art as a healing tool: Art can be a powerful tool to give voice and shape to an unintegrated experience, such as trauma.
Valeria Solarino thus mentions his theatrical show “Jerry Innocenza Rosa” as an example of how art can face complex themes such as gender identity and violence, and underlines that different languages (films, shows, songs, podcasts) compared to a conference, can have a deeper emotional impact and generate a change of attitude.
The Solarino also reflects on the historically marginal role of the woman in society, perceived more as an object than as an active subject, which has also influenced body care. Underlines the importance of inclusive language and of the “battles” to change words and narratives, also through “forcing” or “linguistic revolutions”, to return dignity to people e break the cycle of violence.
“Good luck”, therefore, what does it mean?
It means being in a condition of Protection – concludes Solarino. I would say it to those who take time to stop and go deep in things, slowing down from the superficiality of the world, and all the people who find themselves in a condition of submission, encouraging them to trust themselves and protective figures to ask for help or move away.
