Addiction is often rooted in pain\, trauma\, and shame and protected by layers of psychological defenses. These defense mechanisms and protector parts help with survival\, safety\, and comfort\, but may block insight\, connection\, or change. This workshop offers a trauma-informed and strengths-based framework for working with defenses in psychodrama. Participants will learn how to work in action with various types of defenses to promote recovery from trauma\, addiction\, and mental health. \nAction methods such as doubling\, role reversal\, and concretization will be demonstrated as tools to explore one’s relationship to defenses while preserving client safety and autonomy. Theoretical concepts from Moreno\, psychodynamic theory\, and trauma-informed care will be integrated into the teaching and practice. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify multiple psychodramatic interventions for working with defenses\nDescribe at least two sociometric exercises for exploring defenses in a group\nExplain the value of psychodrama for addiction treatment and recovery\n\nBy purchasing tickets and registering for this event\, you confirm that you agree with the Phoenix Center’s Informed Consent for Experiential Training Workshops and our workshop\, cancellation\, and refund policies. \n\nTo Register for this Workshop\nPlease complete Steps 1 and 2.  Registration is not confirmed until payment is received.\nStep 1: Pay for the event by using our Paypal Payment System (you can enter a credit card as a payment option). \n01234567891011121314151617181920Professional Registration for 9/18-26-9/20/26 - Psychodrama\, Addiction\, and Defenses: From Protection to Connection675.00 USD01234567891011121314151617181920Student Registration for 9/18-26-9/20/26 - Psychodrama\, Addiction\, and Defenses: From Protection to Connection465.00 USD012345678910Friday Only Option for 9/18-26-9/20/26 - Psychodrama\, Addiction\, and Defenses: From Protection to Connection250.00 USDYour eTicket will be emailed after payment to your PayPal email address.\nStep 2: Fill out the registration form using the same email you used for Paypal. \n \nStep 3: You will hear from us with a confirmation email (the same one you used for PayPal and registration) indicating your registration and information about the event in a few days.
