We are excited to welcome you to the first event that will attempt to combine psychodrama and BDSM, from our team's psychologist and psychodrama therapist!
Overview:
This class is designed for individuals interested in exploring the therapeutic and psychological aspects of BDSM through the lens of the method of psychodrama. Psychodrama, a form of therapy developed by Jacob L. Moreno, uses guided drama and role-playing to help individuals explore their emotions, relationships, and inner conflicts. Psychodrama can offer profound insights into personal desires, boundaries, and identities.
Objectives:
To create a safe environment for understanding BDSM dynamics through psychodramatic techniques.
To deepen participants' insight of their own and others' psychological and emotional landscapes within BDSM contexts.
To use exercises of role-play and dramatization to explore power dynamics, consent, and boundaries in a controlled and supportive setting and explore the impact that may have in our lives.
To offer tools for personal growth, emotional release, and enhanced communication within BDSM relationships.
Who Should Attend:
Individuals or couples interested in BDSM and/or psychodrama.
Therapists or counselors looking to integrate psychodramatic techniques into their practice with BDSM-aware clients.
Anyone curious about the psychological dimensions of BDSM.
