When one’s executive function is easily taxed, a trauma-informed art therapy approach recommends that lower parts of the brain be addressed first... This also holds true for psychological trauma, including most posttraumatic stress responses.

| When damaged, the brain’s ability to transmit information may result in the misfiring of neurons that may affect our ability to learn, interact or maintain overall attention and concentration. 
A neuron (brain cell) is the basic building block of the nervous system.
Specialized branches (dendrites) allow neurons to form larger networks and communicate through electrical impulses and chemical signals that promote specific brain functions.
Neural damage can disrupt brain function and cause a host of other physical, behavioral and emotional changes to occur. |
