Workshop on Psychodrama

About the Workshop

We are organizing a workshop on Psychodrama, an experiential, action-based approach to psychotherapy that uses guided role-play, enactment, and structured group interaction to help participants explore emotions, relationships, and personal experiences.

What It Is Used For

Psychodrama is used to help individuals process unresolved emotions, understand interpersonal conflicts, build self-awareness, and work through personal or relational challenges in a supportive group environment.

Why It Is Important

Many emotional and relational issues are difficult to access through words alone. Psychodrama creates a space where participants can engage with these issues actively rather than just talking about them.

How It Compares to Drama/Theatre

Drama is performance-oriented, primarily focused on communicating a story to an audience through a scripted or rehearsed narrative.
Psychodrama is process-oriented and largely unscripted, focused on the participant's own inner experience rather than an audience.

In short, drama tells a story for others; psychodrama helps a person live through and understand their own story, in the presence of a supportive group.

The workshop is conducted by RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) licensed professionals, ensuring all sessions follow recognized clinical and ethical standards.

What You'll Get

A professionally facilitated session led by RCI-licensed clinical psychologists.
A structured, safe, and confidential group environment for participants.

Workshop on Movement-Based Expressive Therapy Techniques

About the Workshop

We are organizing a workshop on movement-based expressive therapy techniques, an experiential, body-based approach that uses movement as a tool to support emotional, cognitive, social, and physical integration in individuals.

What It Is Used For

These techniques are used to help individuals release stored tension, process emotions that are difficult to verbalize, improve body awareness, and build confidence and self-expression.

Why It Is Important

The body holds experiences and emotions that words often cannot fully capture. Movement-based work draws on the understanding that mind and body are deeply interconnected.

How It Compares to Dance

Dance as a performance art is typically technique- and aesthetics-oriented, focused on trained skill, choreography, and communicating to an audience.
Movement-based expressive therapy is process-oriented and does not require any dance training or technical skill.

In short, dance is a skill performed for others; this work is a personal process of using the body to understand and reflect on oneself, in the presence of a supportive group.

The workshop is conducted by RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) licensed Clinical Psychologists, ensuring all sessions follow recognized clinical and ethical standards.
