POETRY FOR MENTAL HEALTH: A ONE-WOMAN STUDY
By Faiqa Ali Chughtai
Faiqa is a pharmacist with a Master’s in Pharmacology and a dedicated writer. She explores themes of trauma and resilience in her work, voicing the physical, psychological, and sexual traumas faced by women. "The connection between mind, body, and emotions is real. Poetry, with its symbols, metaphors, and rhythmic flow, taps into that connection. It’s not just words on a page—it’s an embodied experience."
