DEVELOPING NEW PERSPCETIVES: A 3-DAY PSYCHODRAMA TRAINING WORKSHOP

When you begin to embrace new ideas, you will start to find dramatic changes happen. People develop new roles when they find a new perspective.  This is the real psychology of change, when you start to create breakthroughs to the new.  When you have a shift in mentality, a shift in belief and a shift in perception, this all leads to vast amounts of spontaneity and creativity and innovation.

The aim of this training weekend is to develop theoretical knowledge and practical ability in the psychodrama method, with a particular focus on role theory and the concept of the here and now. The workshop is experiential with mini-lectures.  Participants can expect to learn how to direct through supervised practice.  You will also learn the basic techniques of the classical Morenian psychodrama method, as applied today.  Techniques include doubling, mirroring and role reversal. This weekend will suit people who want to further expand or deepen in their personal and professional development.  It will suit those working in groups and also in one-to-one situations, be they with individuals, couples or families.
