Some Elements of Drama Therapy:
Play: Play is a crucial aspect of human development, and therapeutic engagement with play can yield numerous positive outcomes.
Role-play: This involves taking on the role of a specific character in a particular situation. For instance, by portraying a protagonist from an imaginary story, you can explore positive changes the character desires and then apply these changes in real life.
Voice: Through voice work, we can help you discover your voice, thereby building a more confident self-capable of expressing thoughts and feelings.
Movement: Connecting back to our physical selves through simple movements allows us to discover new ways of expressing ourselves non-verbally.
Sessions are typically held weekly, ranging from approximately 12 weeks to over a year, depending on the therapy’s goals and the client’s needs.
