Thanks to everyone who joined us for our 5-day trauma informed psychodrama directing practice this week. We had five days packed with community, healing, learning, laughter, and psychodrama. We also had a group of amazing human beings which is what made this such a special experience!
Multiple themes emerged throughout the week including self worth, community, wholeness, rupture & repair, identity, gender, spirituality, integrating good and bad parts of self and others, fear, intergenerational trauma, inner child work, family, grief, and many more!
We explored the helpful and harmful experiences in community, therapy, and psychodrama while emphasizing trauma informed principles in action.
We also experimented with more advanced directing skills such as having multiple protagonists in one scene and making clinical role assignments to integrate unchosen protagonists. (See our august 5-day workshop for more on this!)
Together we met each other in the discomfort of honoring the complexities of experience, differences in identity, conflicting personal needs/preferences, ruptures and repairs. Through it all, we kept returning to the strengths/resources within the group and our common humanity. It was meaningful and regenerative work!
Come join us for the next psychodrama workshop which will be full of personal growth and professional learning!
