How are Psychodrama and Community Effective Tools for Treating Trauma?

With Samantha Bishop and Terence Smith

EP. 003

In today's episode, Mickenzie and Christopher chat with therapists Samantha Bishop and Terence Smith to explore an effective experiential modality called psychodrama. Together they explain how psychodrama, coupled with the presence of a safe community, can help rightsize our past, gain insight into our present, and create a path toward the future we desire.

"In therapy, the priority is relationship — to be fully known and to feel safe in being known—that's everything. It trumps any kind of modality."

- Samantha Bishop

"Trauma happens in a context of a relationship good or bad. And so I believe healing must take place in the context."
