THIS is the power of psychodrama...we warm people up to change using action. We don't shame them by calling them "resistant," we honor their warm up. We help them explore the change in action, so they have a felt sense of it in their bodies, which increases the potential for sustainability.

We all do it...we make up stories about other people because we don't know the truth about who they are. In this week's Action Insights podcast episode - "If You Don't Reveal Yourself, People Will Invent You," we explore how Sociometry helps us to get know one another, and reveal ourselves in safe, structured way.

For many of us, our truth got buried, or sublimated, so we could keep ourselves sane and safe. But it still lives inside, and needs a way to surface, or we suffer from the silence. Through action methods, like psychodrama and sociometry, the truth can emerge, be named, and help set us free.

If you want to learn more about these 2 incredibly effective methods, we're offering an Introduction to Psychodrama virtual training on Saturday, September 13th. For more information, visit theactioninstitute.com or email us at actioninstituteassistant@gmail.com.

CEs available for California LCSW, LMFT, LPCC and/or LEP, CAADAC, ISEP (Experiential Professionals) and Psychodrama.

You’ve tried weekly therapy
You’ve tried talk therapy
You’ve tried self-help meetings

But you’re still:
Stuck
Frustrated
Confused
Anxious

Instead of spending months - or even years - chipping away at your trauma, you can experience deep, and sustainable shifts in a few days. Whether you know what the root of these challenges is or not, and whether you have clear memories of your trauma or not, you can still experience deep healing.

Using experiential and somatic techniques help us access different channels inside of you that go beyond talk, into true healing, allowing for deeper and more sustainable change.

One of the benefits of training in psychodrama, sociometry and group psychotherapy is that professionals not only have an opportunity to learn practical clinical skills, but they also have a safe space to do their own work.

Do you let yourself acknowledge the synchronicities in your life, or do you dismiss them as "crazy?" Check out this week's Action Insights podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/action-insights/id1822692455?i=1000722764047

This is why we include Sociometry in EVERY training, workshop, intensive, etc. Sociometry provides a safe way for everyone to warm up to revealing more and more about themselves - at a pace that feels inviting - so we don't wrongly "invent" each other.
