Ponthafren Association - Dramatherapy

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 09:49:00 +0100

Starts Tuesday 26th October 2010 2.45pm to 4.15pm For 6 weeks What is Dramatherapy? Dramatherapy is a form of psychotherapy which uses a variety of creative materials to help participants explore and express their difficulties. What happens during the sessions? Ultimately the sessions will be what the participants want them to be. It is your time and Lucia will be there to support you, not to tell you what to do. The sessions are safe and confidential - what happens in, stays in. Each participant is respected in their choices. The name Dramatherapy can be a bit misleading. The typical session would include talking, sharing and using creative materials to have fun and help us ti connect with ourselves. We would meet once a week to talk and be creative. What will I get out of it? It is an opportunity for you to be yourself is a supportive group. What if I'm not sure? Please come anyway. Although it is possible that it won't be your cup of tea, I would love to hear from you. Come to a session and let me know what you think.
