2025 ANNUAL LCPCM SPRING CONFERENCE
Full Day Presentation
“Embodied Healing: Psychodrama to Enhance Mind-Body Connection and Creative Transformation”
In this interactive and experiential workshop, participants will explore the power of psychodrama as a tool for facilitating mind-body integration and enhancing spontaneity and creativity in therapeutic work. Rooted in role theory, this training will introduce participants to key psychodramatic techniques, including psychodramatic sculpting, to access and anchor inner resources as a key component in trauma-informed counseling.
Through didactic presentations, guided exercises, experiential demonstrations, and reflective discussion, participants will gain hands-on experience in using psychodramatic techniques to help clients enhance emotional expression, role expansion, and embodied transformation.
Participants will leave with practical tools to enrich their clinical practice. Includes 6 CEU’s.
