PLEASE NOTE: SCHEDULING HAS SHIFTED DURING COVID.
This ongoing training group – co-sponsored by BraveHeart Retreats and Action Institute of California – meets 3 times a year for 3 days each time, and is open to all helping professionals. Participants will learn the techniques of Sociometry, Psychodrama and Group Psychotherapy, and practice new skills that can be applied to their current clientele. Together we will co-create a space of safety, confidentiality, and connection to allow group members to pursue both personal and professional growth.
TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:
- Engaging and motivating clients
- Helping clients connect to self and others
- Increasing attunement with clients
- Building group cohesion
- Dealing with conflict in group
Most professionals who train in psychodrama do not go on to pursue certification but are keen to learn effective techniques that they can ethically practice with their clients. This group is open to therapists, counselors, interventionists, bodyworkers, treatment center front-line staff, coaches, teachers, doctors, nurses, attorneys or anyone working in the helping professional who can benefit from utilizing action methods in their work.
Because those of us working in the helping professions find it difficult to find safe spaces in which to do our own work, this group also serves as a place to do that. When training in psychodrama, students direct each other in personal growth psychodramas, allowing for healing and transformation for everyone. Great care is taken to build strong safety, and a commitment to confidentiality is made each time the group meets. Group members have found the group invaluable in pursuing both their personal and professional work and in having an ongoing community of like-minded practitioners with whom they can continue to walk the path of healing and recovery.
Group members must make an initial 3 consecutive group commitment to THIS group to start (including financially). Group closure must be done over 2 consecutive weekends.
