Today's drama therapy class

I was a little skeptical yet still interested about what today's class on drama therapy would be like, mostly because I have little experience or exposure to it. After the various activities our facilitator had us perform, and the reflection of the processes, thoughts, and feelings of them I recognized how salient and effective drama therapy could be when working with clients. From "freezing" and continuing a group member's form, to creating figures and expressing ourselves as objects, each activity held clinical benefits and meaning behind it. During the beginning of class, the facilitator asked us to stand on one side  of the room demonstrating if we were comfortable with performing, and on the other side of the room if we weren't, or in the middle. I stood close to the "uncomfortable" side, but once we did the warm-ups and activities, I realized I began to feel safe and actually participated when I originally thought there would be no way I would do so since I tend to be shy. All in all, this was a great class and I would definitely like more into drama therapy.
