PSYCHODRAMA AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Presenter: Héctor Montalvo, MA (Mexico)

Description:
Psychodrama, as an experiential and action-based method, is intrinsically related to emotional intelligence by using the body to recognize and express emotions. Through its implementation, it facilitates the identification of one's own and others' emotions and feelings, and understanding how they influence thinking (emotional facilitation).Sociodrama explores the historical and cultural influences on our emotional responses. Psychodrama offers practical tools—such as role reversal, mirroring, and the auxiliary self—to regulate emotional intensity and promote self-management.In essence, psychodrama is an experiential laboratory that cultivates emotional awareness, interpersonal understanding, and the ability to navigate the emotional world with greater wisdom and authenticity in a social context.


Learning Objectives:

1. Apply psychodramatic techniques to recognize and regulate emotional experiences through bodily awareness and expressive action.
2. Demonstrate understanding of how role reversal can foster empathy and enhance emotional intelligence in individual and group contexts.
