SPEAKER: Natasha Mata, M.S.Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern

Psychodrama facilitates the development of spontaneity, creativity, and potency in clients. Improvisational role-playing creates opportunities for emotional catharsis and helps to integrate constructive behavioral change such as stopping maladaptive and/or addictive behaviors. Role playing of other significant people in one’s life, followed by group sharing, creates more empathetic understanding, allows the individual to process grief and loss, and reduces feelings of alienation and isolation. 


3 Learning Objectives

1. Learn how psychodrama helps processing and resolution of grief 

2. Recognize key psychodrama concepts and terms

3. Differentiate psychodramatic techniques to facilitate group therapy and/or individual counseling sessions
