Based on a case study, the authors aim to demonstrate that art therapy can be an essential tool in the care of excised women seeking asylum in France. A workshop within a CADA (Centre for Asylum Seekers) allowed their deep-rooted traumas to be elaborated without immediate recourse to verbal expression or language. The twelve sessions provided a forum for discussion during which the unspeakable suffering of one of the victims was addressed. This excised woman was exposed to marital, familial, group, and cultural violence that led her to flee her family and her country. Without reiterating the initial trauma and respecting her protective defensive mechanisms, the art therapy workshops were able to reactivate her psychological processes by reducing her post-traumatic shock. It is shown how Mrs. B. managed to gain access to symbolisation, with the stimulation of her creativity serving as lever for her subjectivity.
