“I love teaching it. I love doing it. I just love everything about it.”
– Tobi Klein on psychodrama
Both playful and profound, one thing that really comes through in this video is how much fun therapy can be! These tools and techniques help clients shift from merely talking about their struggles and relationships to actually enacting them in a way that brings profound shifts, making for a very lively and engaging therapeutic experience. As one participant in the video says, “In the psychodrama I cannot intellectualize away the emotions.”
Klein’s teaching style in this video mirrors that experiential approach, in that Klein doesn’t just talk about psychodrama, she masterfully shows how it’s done with a group of participants. With Klein as the director, the group explores universal themes such as betrayal, loss, grief, guilt, and shame, and viewers get to see how Klein creates scenes that provide opportunities for full expression of each protagonist’s psyche. Most importantly, she demonstrates how to incorporate these techniques to facilitate constructive change and lasting transformation.
If you’re looking for a fun and engaging way to learn a fun and engaging approach, this video is for you!
