WORDS FROM PARTICIPANT
Being the protagonist in one of the therapist's
demonstrations, I experienced the therapeutic
power of psychodrama, and expressed my
internal conflicts and energy. After the
workshop, I did not only learn the theories about
psychodrama, I felt I have made a good step
forward. I was glad that the group members
also benefited from witnessing my process.
