Psychodrama Workshop: Reading My Emotions
We are often busy at reading and sending messages in chat apps or social media. However, have you read the notifications from your own emotional self? Bypassing those signals may result in having disturbing thoughts, somatic complaints, or difficulties in sleep and concentration. This workshop will use psychodrama techniques to create a safe environment for you to connect with your inner world.
Ride the wave of emotions: a short-term Psychodrama Group Therapy
Our emotion is like an ocean. Sometimes it is peaceful, while sometimes it is wavy. Throughout the semester, you may experience ups and downs. Strong negative emotions may come with disturbing thoughts, somatic complaints or difficulties in sleep and concentration. Psychodrama is a group psychotherapy model integrating drama and action method. You will go through a self-discovery journey and make friends with your feelings in a private and safe environment.
In this 6-week action-oriented counselling group, we share our experiences so that you are not alone. We help each other to identify their repeating patterns in daily life and practice new responding ways. The activities include warm-up, psychodrama, sharing and reflection on the group dynamics. Participants are expected to be open to self-exploration and ready to participate but are NOT required to have acting experience.
