Working with couples in therapy lends itself to putting individual and shared problems into action. When clients come to us, they have often exhausted the words or behaviors that they have been using to try to communicate. Psychodrama offers creative ways to help people explore the issues they bring in and help them to design different ways to negotiate for what they want in the relationship.
In this workshop, participants will learn ways to help their clients:
-
understand the other's viewpoint
-
safely express feelings
-
explore individual and shared expectations of the role of partner
-
respond more effectively to their partners
-
identify the "ghosts" that pop up between people and get in the way of true communication
-
slow down their conflict so each can know he/she is heard and understood.
Some of the psychodramatic
techniques that can be used in couples work are:
-
doubling
-
role reversing
-
concretizing
-
encounter
-
empty chair
-
role training
-
role diagrams
The workshop will be both didactic and experiential, using role play to practice what you've learned.
Students at all levels of experience are welcomed. Overnight accommodations are available.
Workshop fee is $135. Early registration discount: $110 if registration and check, money order or bank transfer are postmarked by April 16.
