Description of the Workshop:
Where was God when the abuse/trauma was happening? I prayed every night for the abuse to stop. God didn’t listen to me. God betrayed me. I must not be worth saving. If there was a God, all this suffering wouldn’t exist! How am I supposed to feel about and participate in religion if I was abused by a clergy person, or the dogma I was instilled with? What is the difference between spirituality and religion?
These are just some of the common questions, beliefs, and feelings our clients carry. Maybe we have asked some of these questions ourselves. Early childhood experiences of abuse, especially if it is ongoing, interfere with the developmental concept of a power, energy, or entity greater than ourselves. Trauma at other times in life can do damage as well. With the Godhead at its center, Psychodrama is the perfect method to address this interference.
As stated by Ed Schreiber, (http://omegatheater.org/book/moreno/body.html)
“Zerka Moreno describes the godhead as the autonomous healing center. This is at the core of Moreno's teachings: psychodrama, sociodrama and sociometry are methods to encounter the autonomous healing center.”
Isn’t this what we know as the element of healing?
Come join us as we encounter the autonomous healing center’s power of transformation and recovery.
Objectives:
- Name one way early childhood abuse interferes with the concept development of power greater than self.
- Identify the importance of cultural humility when working with spiritual and religious issues.
- Apply at least one psychodramatic technique to facilitate encounter with the autonomous healing center.
Cost:
• Professionals and general public: $80
• College students & retirees: $60
Payment, in case of cancellation, will be credited to future workshops.
