The method
What is Psychodramatic Bodywork®?
Psychodrama is a form of psychotherapy in which blocked spontaneity from earlier traumas is unblocked and reintegrated through dramatic action methods.
Bodywork is a form of healing that involves touching numb, tense or painful areas in a safe manner. This often leads to unexpressed emotions that can then be expressed, freeing the flow of the body’s energy.
Psychodramatic Bodywork® is Susan Aaron’s unique integration of these two dynamic techniques, and serves as a powerful complement to diverse therapeutic modalities. In trainings, Susan’s team of assistants performs demonstrations that illustrate the theory and the process.
