Psychodrama, an experiential form of therapy, uses guided drama and role playing to work through problems. First developed by Jacob L. Moreno, psychodrama includes elements of theater – such as the use of props – and is often conducted on a stage, or in a space that serves as a stage area. Psychodrama is used in both individual and group therapy settings and can help people gain perspective on emotional concerns, conflicts, or other areas of concern in a safe and supportive environment. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s psychodrama experts today.
As a drama therapist, I use psychodrama techniques to help you explore and resolve conflicts through role-play and creative expression. Psychodrama allows you to step into different roles and perspectives, offering powerful insights and emotional release. This active, experiential approach helps you gain new understanding of your relationships, emotions, and behaviors, leading to deeper healing and transformation.
— Sean Paul Carleton, Creative Art Therapist in New York, NYHave you ever said, “one part of me feels this way and another part feels this way?” We have many different parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are, and how we present ourselves to the world. I will work with you to identify and work with various “parts” of yourself to help understand internal struggles and congruencies we present ourselves
— Alice Robbins, Clinical Social Worker in Austin, TXDrama Therapy involves the practice of embodying different roles in real-time that are therapeutic. For example, if a person dislikes their job and wants to leave, but is fearful to take the next steps, this is an example of two parts of a person that are at odds. My approach depends on the comfort level of my client, but I often use this method by helping people identify these conflicting parts of themselves, and express themselves from those different points of view.
