‘Earthing our roots, as we move, react, and create.’
What is Dramatherapy?
Dramatherapy is an intervention that can be used with everyone such as children, young adults, and the elderly, including those that identify as neurodivergent. The structural methods of dramatherapy are held by developmental and analytical psychology, therefore it is a creative form of psychotherapy. Dramatherapy works with unconscious processes of the mind, in a non-direct way, that may explore early childhood experiences.
​
Aspects such as social challenges, interaction, mental health struggles including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions, grief, major life events, can be worked through to offer the best quality of life to clients.
​
In dramatherapy, sessions are creatively run, incorporating drawing, role play, the use of story, movement, breath work, sensory exploration, music, and games. During our early childhood stages, we learn and develop through play. Dramatherapy recreates this play space for both children and adults in a safe and contained environment.
"Just as plants flourish, when the water nourishes the ground, that nourishes the roots. Rooted Embrace Arts Creative Therapy aim to create a healthy base for our roots to find their way, to grow, to embrace their form and shape, as well as positively acknowledging what we see on the surface and the world in which it interacts in."
