When The Mouth Can't Speak The Body Will

<p>When The Mouth Can't Speak The Body Will—through her poetry and photography readers see the progression of Jane Berger Herschlag from a sickly victim of child abuse to a triumphant survivor. She <strong>struggled through years of repression till she turned her unchildhood into </strong>art. Jane vividly shows the impact of emotional and physical trauma that can damage the immune system; but the yearning for homeostasis can reverse that trend and the immune system can regain its vigor.</p><p>Witnessing one's history through analysis and journaling heals and going public at readings enhances that recovery. Jane curated poetry readings at the 63rd Street YMCA. and at a Fifth Avenue Deli in NYC and after moving to CT at the YMCA in Danbury.</p>
