Healing Complex Trauma With Psychodrama
Abstract
This chapter discusses foundational aspects of healing trauma within psychodrama practice. The process of changing internalized trauma through psychodrama will be outlined, as well as the importance of emotional validation and group witnessing. Exploring traumatic content with psychodramatic resources will be emphasized as a method of renegotiating emotional connection to traumatic memory and desensitizing the disturbance attached to a memory. Corrective emotional experiences and the psychodramatic process of resource, undo, and redo offer potentials for changing how trauma lives within and empowering trauma recovery.
