Trauma Recovery Integration, Posttraumatic Growth, and Role Training for the Future With Psychodrama
Abstract
This chapter emphasizes the use of integration, role training, future projection, and embodying posttraumatic growth in trauma-focused psychodrama practice. Rather than only focusing on trauma, it is essential that roles related to trauma recovery be integrated into trauma-focused psychodrama. Integrative interventions, scenes, and roles can be employed in psychodrama to further promote lasting change and growth. Psychodrama can be used to help empower clients to address triggers related to trauma, practice for future situations, and call on their vision of themselves in the future as a resource potent with hope, wisdom, and recovery.
