INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHODRAMA FOR RESOLVING ATTACHMENT TRAUMA: AN EXPERIENTIAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
December 7-9, 2018 A weekend professional training at the Rio Retreat Center at The Meadows.
The organization of the emotional brain is notoriously resistant to modification by reason or understanding. However, we can change people’s internal map of predictions and expectations by introducing reparative experiences in three-dimensional space. Precision, attunement, and interaction are key. In this workshop, we will collectively observe and practice ways in which the internal map of the world can be revised by activating the imagination through interactive movement, touch, auditory, and visual input. Attendees will be expected to have done their own personal work and be prepared to actively participate in helping to create new realities for fellow workshop members. This training is limited to 40 participants.
