This ongoing quarterly Orange County Psychodrama Training Group III for Professionals will serve as a safe and supportive environment to learn and practice specific action methods techniques.  Group members will learn tools such as sociometry, psychodrama and group psychotherapy, and will be given step-by-step instruction on how to use these new skills so that they may easily implement them with their clients.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

  • Engaging and motivating clients
  • Helping clients connect to self and others
  • Helping clients progress in treatment
  • Building group cohesion
  • Dealing with conflict in group

Most professionals who train in psychodrama do not go on to pursue certification but are keen to learn effective techniques that they can ethically practice with their clients.  This group is open to therapists, counselors, interventionists, bodyworkers, treatment center front-line staff, coaches, teachers, doctors, nurses, attorneys or anyone working in the helping professional who can benefit from utilizing action methods in their work.

Because those of us working in these fields find it difficult to find safe spaces in which to do our own work, this group can also serve as a place to do that.  When training in psychodrama, students direct each other in personal growth psychodramas, allowing for healing and transformation for everyone.  Great care is taken to build strong safety, and a commitment to confidentiality is made each time the group meets.  Group members have found the group invaluable in pursuing both their personal and professional work and in having an ongoing community of like-minded practitioners with whom they can continue to walk the path of healing and recovery.

Group members must make a 3 consecutive scheduled group weekend commitment to THIS group to start (including financially). Since the dates will be available in advance, the expectation is that group members will attend. If there is a cause for absence, refunds will not be issued.  In addition, closure must be done over the course of 2 groups.

A personal interview with our CEO, Jean Campbell, LCSW, TEP, is required before registering for this ongoing training group.
