EXPERIENTIAL
INNER CHILD
a psychodrama self growth accelerator
Make powerful progress on inner child work through a unique & dynamic group format.
The creative and experiential modalities of group psychodrama and sociometrics add embodiment and relationality to this work, increasing the probability that deep shifts will occur.
What are Psychodrama and Sociometrics?
Psychodrama is an embodied, experiential therapeutic approach where you are no longer passively talking ABOUT what happened - you are SHOWING it.
You might inhabit and speak as different parts of yourself, past versions of yourself. Current You speaks directly to your mother, your nemesis, or 7 year old you - or even other things, abstractions like god or money or fame.
Other people in the group play supporting roles or speak your inner thoughts and feelings for you. Roles are frequently reversed.
Sociometrics is a modality that helps create group trust and co-regulation. It is a way of accessing shared experience and normalizing experiences that felt shameful or alienating.
In sociometrics, participants gather around commonalities and share a little around why they self-selected into the preference or category that they did.
Through sociometrics, we are powerfully co-regulated and our lexicon around individual experience expands and enriches. When other people share, we are free to take parts of their experience that feel resonant and add it to our own meaning making.
I love PSYCHODRAMA for so many reasons:
1) It’s a somatic, embodied, “bottom-up” practice for those of us who identify as too “heady” or “analytical” to do somatic practice
2) It’s real-time, authentic connecting in community - commence oxytocin + dopamine release
3) It is both one of the most powerful therapeutic modalities I have ever experienced and also incredibly gentle, organic, self-paced + unshaming
4) It gets results (be honest, we all want the progress and goals and manifesting) but in a non-pathologizing, non-forcing way
5) it shakes things up! Maybe you’re in a rut with coaching or therapy…this is fun, new, exciting and unexpected
6) it teaches you ways to be with yourself & communicate with yourself that are soooo useful! You can be your own coach, your own body double, your own parent - through using adapted psychodrama techniques + principles
What is the point of inner child work?
It’s where our biggest blocks originate.
It’s where our biggest shifts can be made.
It has a massive impact on all our most important relationships.
Experiential Inner Child is limited to 14 participants and is going to be a juicy mix of:
group coaching,
drama/improv (safe, scaffolded, contained, guided),
group support,
personal breakthroughs,
truth telling,
catharsis,
authentic relating in supportive community,
reprogramming trauma responses
dynamism, magic and aliveness
I personally have used psychodrama adaptations to:
get out of an on-coming funk, shift my mood gently but powerfully
find the words/awareness to ask myself THE question to help me make a decision I’d been grappling with for MONTHS (which btw was a big part of the reason for my on-coming funk, see above)
find release, progress and healing with birth and parenting trauma (something that most therapists/coaches I’ve worked with have failed to fully provide)
self coach and self body double in a way that feels closest to actually having a real coach/real body double
“As a parent myself, inner child work has had a massive impact on my ability as a parent and my work as a parent coach.
It’s not super comfortable for me, but accessing it through psychodrama methods has made it not only bearable, but fun!”
“Psychodrama is taking my self-coaching to the next level.
It’s just learning how to talk to yourself in a more embodied, relational way. But what a difference it’s making for me!”
“It was through a psychodramatic conversation with myself that I discovered my best question to ask when trying to make a difficult, messy, lots of cons on either side, decision.
This will shake up all your self growth ruts!”
