In this chapter I present a case study in which a client uses transpersonal art therapy to address personal issues such as depression to re-build resilience and personal sustainability. I describe how transpersonal art therapy, which incorporates mindfulness and mask-making activities, uncovers and addresses issues associated with self-image, eating disorders, and obesity. Child sex abuse also emerges as an underlying trauma that was suppressed for decades, serving as an invisible wound that fractures self-sustainability and impacts lifestyles.
