Efficacy of Transpersonal Art Intervention in Mitigating Relationship Trauma-Induced Distress among Young Adults: A Focus on Inner Peace

Objectives: Modernity promotes romance as critical life stages, but the loss of a relationship as a form of heartbreak severely affects inner peace quests which leads to depressed thinking patterns that threaten both emotional and physical health. Therapeutic approaches align with arts-based activities and spiritual techniques which create healing mechanisms that lead people expanding their vision of current hardships. The focus of this study investigates how both positive and negative relationship memories affect young adults' ability to forgive and show resilience and their tendency toward neurotic behavior while using pre-intervention measurement methods. Methods: The study examines how Transpersonal Art Intervention (TAI) affects these psychological aspects by comparing the data before and after the intervention. The research selects ten college students aged 18 to 25 from Kolkata who are experiencing romantic problems as its methodological sample. A pre-experimental design structure guides the research process by giving participants PANERT Scale, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and repeating them before and after the intervention period. Analytical procedures encompass descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney U) via SPSS. Results: Study results affirm some aspects of the anticipated positive effects but also demonstrate that neurotic behavior is more negatively affected when thinking positively about a previous romantic partner when compared to negative reflection. Conclusion: The effectiveness of Transpersonal Art Intervention proves major in increasing forgiveness and resilience and decreasing neurotic tendencies because this demonstrates its significant impact on post-heartbreak mental health care for affected individuals.

Abstract

Objectives: Modernity promotes romance as critical life stages, but the loss of a relationship as a form of heartbreak severely affects inner peace quests which leads to depressed thinking patterns that threaten both emotional and physical health. Therapeutic approaches align with arts-based activities and spiritual techniques which create healing mechanisms that lead people expanding their vision of current hardships. The focus of this study investigates how both positive and negative relationship memories affect young adults' ability to forgive and show resilience and their tendency toward neurotic behavior while using pre-intervention measurement methods. Methods: The study examines how Transpersonal Art Intervention (TAI) affects these psychological aspects by comparing the data before and after the intervention. The research selects ten college students aged 18 to 25 from Kolkata who are experiencing romantic problems as its methodological sample. A pre-experimental design structure guides the research process by giving participants PANERT Scale, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and repeating them before and after the intervention period. Analytical procedures encompass descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney U) via SPSS. Results: Study results affirm some aspects of the anticipated positive effects but also demonstrate that neurotic behavior is more negatively affected when thinking positively about a previous romantic partner when compared to negative reflection. Conclusion: The effectiveness of Transpersonal Art Intervention proves major in increasing forgiveness and resilience and decreasing neurotic tendencies because this demonstrates its significant impact on post-heartbreak mental health care for affected individuals.
