Description

“Talk to, not about” is the dictum of psychodrama. Words alone do not treat c-PTSD. We need embodied and experiential methods like psychodrama and sociometrics to access the full social engagement system (Porges). Psychodrama provides an embodied approach to dealing directly with internalized relationships. Sociometrics offers a psychoeducational, experiential approach to healing in a group. Both access neuroception, introception, extroception, and proprioception, allowing the mind and body to integrate into the healing process fully. In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore the kinds of attachment issues that are a part of c-PTSD and offer two approaches to working with them. Through role play, clients can talk to themselves or any relationship from the past, present, or future point in time, and through sociometrics, they can experience and practice new relational behaviors in the here and now.
