Virtual Case Consultation: Spontaneity in Action – Creative Approaches to Challenging Cases
In psychodrama, spontaneity is defined as the ability to respond to a new situation adequately or to bring a fresh perspective to an old one. In this session, you'll have the opportunity to bring your most challenging client cases and receive guidance on how to tap into your own creative potential, approaching obstacles through a new, experiential lens. While many trainings are available for experiential modalities, you don’t need extensive hours of additional training to begin working experientially with your clients. The key is to embrace the principle of "show me, don’t tell me" and to cultivate your own spontaneity and creativity in practice. This consultation panel will offer fresh ideas and strategies to work with existing clients, empowering you to approach your therapeutic challenges with greater flexibility and innovation. Whether you're looking to deepen your practice or find new ways to engage your clients, this session will help you tap into your creativity and bring a fresh, dynamic energy to your work.
