Dayton highlights the emotion that emerges from these participants bodies, and helps give voice and meaning to the catharsis that emerges so that an integration between mind and body can occur.
Full Description:
The body remembers the trauma that the mind does not. Psychodrama provides a space for the body to speak, for somatic memory to become conscious, and for the mind to connect and process what the body is experiencing. In this video, Travis speaks to his wounded heart and works through his fear of dying; Sheila speaks to her mother who committed suicide and releases anger that was locked up for many years; and Amal speaks to the birth mother she never met, confronting the belief that she was never loved or wanted. Dayton highlights the emotion that emerges from these participants bodies, and helps give voice and meaning to the catharsis that emerges so that an integration between mind and body can occur.
