Psychodrama Training for Professional Development and Personal Growth

With Sylvia Israel, MFT, RDT/BCT, TEP

Bay Area Moreno Institute (BAMI) is accepting applications for the 2016-17 Psychodrama Core Training Group (CTG). CTG is a training program for people seeking to expand their knowledge of the theory and practice of Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy. CTG is a supportive, stimulating community of learners; a laboratory in which to develop spontaneity as a director, auxiliary, protagonist and group member. Students will have input into specific areas of study and will have numerous opportunities for directing.

Group and Individual Case Supervision will be provided at each session using psychodramatic and other action methods. If you are interested in additional supervision/consultation, please let us know.

Training is open to professionals and students in the fields of mental health, law, substance abuse and recovery, creative arts therapies, religion, human services, personnel management, group facilitation and education, and those wanting to further their knowledge of psychodrama.

December 2-4. Neuroscience Meets Psychodrama:

The Neurobiology of Trauma

Drawing from The Therapeutic Spiral Model, Somatic Attachment Therapy, mindfulness and the theory of neuro-plasticity, we will explore techniques and methods to help ourselves and others stay in the window of tolerance where healing is optimal. Our focus on the body and regulation will support access to spontaneity and creativity. Brain anatomy will be put into action.

Learning Objective: Participants will learn how understanding the connection of the brain/nervous system and the body can support psychodramatic interventions.

After the workshop participants will be able to:

-Utilize somatic doubling in your work

-Explain the window of tolerance

-Demonstrate the brain in action

-Give examples of skills you can utilize to self-regulate during a session
