About the Workshop:
This psychodrama training workshop will introduce sociometry, psychodrama, and group therapy interventions while exploring the wounded healer archetype. We will co-create community together to help address the impacts of countertransference, burnout, and vicarious trauma – which are likely to impact all of us at some point. Most of us choose to become mental health professionals and helpers because of our own experiences of adversity. In this workshop, we will explore the ways we have learned to make meaning from past adversity and find purpose in our careers. Multiple sociometric and psychodramatic interventions will be taught including concretization, empty chair, doubling, role reversal, and future projection. Research on best practices for addressing burnout and vicarious trauma, while promoting vicarious posttraumatic growth will be introduced.

*Please note that this is workshop will include both didactic and experiential learning components. The experiential learning structures include demonstrations of psychodrama and other experiential processes which often include (optional) personal disclosures from participants. While personal growth is often a byproduct of experiential learning in psychodrama, the primary purpose of this workshop is training. If you are seeking a workshop for personal growth or seeking a professional training event that is entirely didactic (lecture/powerpoint), this is probably not the best workshop for you.
