This action-oriented workshop offers practical, applicable, and effective interventions for use with individuals and groups in various treatment settings. ABL Trauma-Responsive Psychodrama, which integrates models such as Internal Family Systems, Relational Trauma Repair, and The Therapeutic Spiral Model of Psychodrama, among others, will serve as the foundation for our work.Experiential methods are the treatment of choice for traumatic stress and related issues due to their ability to access all levels of the brain and "lock in" learning. A history of little t or big T trauma(s) often underlies presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. It is, therefore, essential to equip ourselves with trauma-responsive techniques to enhance our clinical work.This is a strengths-focused workshop; however, sensitive emotional material may be explored due to the nature and topic of the seminar. Practicing healthy emotional boundaries is, therefore, a must. Engage your curiosity and creativity while gaining valuable skills!
