About the Workshop
This psychodrama training workshop will introduce sociometry, psychodrama, and group therapy interventions while exploring 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 which can be a source of strength and passion, but also a source of burnout. 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.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe two psychodrama interventions
- Compare vicarious trauma and vicarious posttraumatic growth
- Identify two methods to reduce burnout and vicarious trauma
