Psychodrama

Drama 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.

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.

I specialize in drama therapy and psychodrama, intentionally using theatre techniques and theory to explore roles, relationships, healthy dynamics, and life transitions.

I have used psychodrama with spectrum disorder, low self-esteem, depressed, anxious and other clients, to help them overcome their blocks and learn new skills and behaviors, which help them create flexibility and empowerment in conquering life.

I have have enhanced my work with a number of individual and group drama techniques, especially Forum Theater, in which participants get to generate and try out their own solutions to challenges in a safe setting, before attempting change in the rest of life.

I have advanced training in psychodrama, an action based form of group and individual therapy that helps you connect with your emotions, improve your friendships and relationships, explore different parts of yourself, and allows you try out new skills safely.

Have 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. Alice will work with you to identify and work with various “parts” of yourself to help understand internal struggles and congruencies we present ourselves

Once I met the world of psychodrama it enhanced my approach with clients. Doing simple techniques to allow a shift in thinking is what this approach has done for my clients.

Psychodrama is an action method, often used as psychotherapy, in which clients use spontaneous dramatization, role-playing, and dramatic self-presentation to investigate and gain insight into their lives. I use psychodrama with souldrama (http://www.souldrama.com/aboutsouldrama.html) to break patterns that are stopping you from fulfilling your lives.

Often the stories we tell ourselves, or others tell about us, frame who we believe we are and how we are perceived. These stories are played out in our every day lives at home, at work, and in our relationships either reinforcing inauthenticity or our authentic selves. Some exercises can help us course correct creatively toward an increased flow state reflecting more of our true selves. Insights, awareness of patterns, healing generational trauma are just some outcomes of this modality.

As a Certified Psychodramatist, I offer options for change using a broad range of effective exercises for growth and insight into relationships, personal behavior, emotional and psychological issues, and self esteem.
