Using Action to Effect Change

WHAT IS PSYCHODRAMATIC BODYWORK®?


This method combines two forms of psychotherapy: psychodrama and bodywork. In psychodrama, blocked spontaneity from earlier traumas is freed and reintegrated through dramatic action methods. Bodywork involves “safe” touch to help individuals connect with the messages that are held in the body as pain, numbness and/or illness.


Psychodrama is . . .

. . . a form of psychotherapy in which blocked spontaneity from earlier traumas is unblocked and reintegrated through dramatic action methods.


Bodywork is . . .

. . . a form of healing that involves touching numb, tense or painful areas in a safe manner. This process often directs us to unexpressed emotions that can be expressed, resulting in a freeing of body energy flow.


In these workshops, Jean works with a team of skilled assistants who perform skits to explain the theory, as well as provide support for all group members.  The environment is relaxed and highly conducive to learning.


Deep personal healing does occur because it’s an experiential workshop but it is not a therapy group. Members will need significant support at various times during and after the workshop to complete and integrate what was begun in the workshops.
