Psychodrama work with psychosomatics

Psychosomatic states are characterized by the lack of ability to symbolize, the lack of spontaneity, low emotional expressiveness and low stress tolerance.

The rationale is that psychodrama is effective in creating clear emotional states, providing symbols for experiences of emotional significance and providing tools to integrate repressed memories of early, often pre-verbal traumatization. Because most psychotherapy methods use verbal narrative, there is aneed for new methods, a new approach and above all a new way of thinking about stress-related diseases are necessary. Psychodrama utilizes emotion, cognition and expression.

The workshop is experiential. It gives an opportunity to explore and learn how to transform bodily symptoms into mental structures.
