Drama Therapy

Drama therapy is the modality I employ to assist you in getting to the goal you want.

Drama therapy is the intentional use of theater and drama techniques to achieve your therapeutic goals. It is both active and reflective because we use our bodies to take on roles and then stop to reflect on them. Drama therapy relies on and employs the wisdom of our body to access stored memories as well as surprising solutions to difficulties we are facing. This process is effective to release trauma energy that is stuck in your body.Trauma informed therapy requires safety and creativity to address the lasting impact of trauma.In the safe haven of a role we can release stuck emotions, grieve, set goals and experience ourselves taking on new roles and perspectives in our lives.

The main premise behind drama therapy and other creative arts therapy is the idea of concretizing –when we reveal our inner world and shape it into a role or art outside of ourselves. Once our inner thoughts and feelings are out of our heads and our bodies, we then feel deeply relieved, witnessed and known, as well as creative and empowered. When you stand and witness your inner world outside of yourself you will gain a fresh perspective on your thoughts and feelings. You are able to see your challenges from a new angle and find new solutions. You will integrate your own material, only this time you will make choices about what you want to take back inside of yourself and what you want to leave out. The process of drama therapy and creative arts is a delightful one. Drama therapy sparks your spontaneity and creativity in the session, which then helps you to be more creative and ready for action in your life.​
