Poetry Prompts

By Holly Madden

For those who love to write, these prompts can encourage either poetry or journal writing to recenter you to spirituality, to yourself, and to the world. Many of these prompts honor deconstructing or processing around religion.

*These practices are not designed to replace therapy. We highly encourage you to reach out for support to licensed practitioners when there is a need.

Trauma Training Takeaways: Art is a powerful form of expression, and in the outlet of expressing emotion or storytelling, healing can occur. Engaging in healing work, no matter the form, can bring up trauma and triggers. This requires sensitivity, compassion, and gentleness, whether it’s with yourself or with someone you are engaging with and caring for. Pursuing help and support from a licensed practitioner should always be encouraged and supported.
