About the Topic
Accept your identity and release your trauma through storytelling and theater along with an LGBTQI+ community that is witnessing similar life situations under the guidance of an LGBTQI+ informed and registered drama therapist and psychologist. Work with the therapist to get clarity of thoughts, identity, and inclinations.
What is Drama Therapy?
Drama therapy has effectively helped in the recovery of abused survivors, at-risk youth, difficult families, behavioral health issues, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. It combines drama and psychotherapy helping you or someone you love to gain confidence and find new, effective ways of problem-solving. This therapy is very effective in building community and bonding.
What will Happen in the Session?
Our licensed LGBTQI+ therapist encourages you to understand your identity and guides you to navigate through challenges with exercises such as role play, storytelling, writing, and mirroring. They will provide you with a safe space to discuss your true self openly with everyone around you without any judgment.
