Trainees Reflection Pieces & Papers

Trainee Reflection Pieces & Papers

Trainee Reflection Pieces, Papers and Articles

In the section, we are very proudly sharing with you, the different kinds of writing that our trainees have completed as they crossed over the different levels of their psychodrama training.

You will find three major types of writing here: A reflection piece is based on each trainee’s experience of psychodrama and the impact psychodrama has had on them. This writing is done at the end of the first level of training called the auxiliary ego level.

At the end of the next level of training which is called the associate director level, trainees are supposed to write about the transformation and major role developments in them since they started training.

This writing needs to be such that it reflects the trainees understanding of different psychodrama terms and their ability to write about their own developmental process through the psychodrama lens.

The last bit of writing which is at the end of the psychodrama director level is a final paper. The final paper could be about the trainees application of psychodrama with groups and/or individuals depending on the area of their specialisation and the audience they work with.

The paper also could be action research based where the trainee has documented through sociograms, locograms and/or spectrograms, the changes in the group they are working with. The action research could also be done using the social atom and personal atom, depicting changes in an individual whether a psychotherapy client or corporate leadership coachee.

Each of the write-ups below are based on each trainee’s individual experiences and journey. They are very special to us as they depict theory in action. We hope you will find articles/pieces of your liking and be nourished by them. If you are a trainee psychodramatist, it could also give you an understanding of how psychodrama writing is done at PiI. Happy reading!!

Testimonials

I came to know about Co-dependency course through social media. As I have completed this course Psychodrama was introduced to me by my colleagues which was totally unfamiliar to me. I came to know Psychodrama is a type of psychotherapy that involves acting out problems in front of others to explore and gain insight into them. Being a house wife I had my doubts and fear about travelling alone, language barrier, meeting unfamiliar people, expressing my inner feelings and emotions. Online classes and workshops gave me confidence to perform, improved my communication skills and inner strength.

Psychodrama is a powerful modality that has helped me to connect with my authentic self in many ways. I’ve met different parts of my inner world - parts that I didn’t even know existed. Each session is a journey of self-discovery and healing! Psychodrama has given me the strength to forgive myself and others, helping me to develop a deep sense of self-love and empathy.

Psychodrama ke sath mera experience.... Psychodrama se mujhe inside - mere ander jo chal raha hai vo dekhne me help ki hai. I'm finding my ‘self’. Thoda expressive hone ki koshish ker rahi hun. Mujhe khud ko accept karne me psychodrama help kar raha hai. Psychodrama gives me some strength to see myself as an actual person. Psychodrama provides me the platform ki janha me jaisi hun veisi reh sakti hun. Jo hu vo dikh rahi hun.🤪 Psychodrama ham jeise hai veise ham khud ko dekhe uski strength deta hai.😊

Kavita Solanki – Trainee

Ahmedabad

I had always been cautious about group therapy, but psychodrama has been a surprisingly positive experience. I attended my first session with the mindset that I could stop if it didn't suit me, but I've found it so impactful that there's been no turning back. Psychodrama has helped me address and heal aspects of myself that I was previously afraid to acknowledge. It's intense, but profoundly healing.

Somya Bansal – Trainee

Dubai

Psychodrama has provided me with a safe space. A space where I have discovered myself and asked questions I never knew I could ask me. Every psychodrama workshop has at least one Eureka moment. I am healing, growing and getting in touch with my inner child. I’ve started observing my feelings and patterns and I am now trying to not judge them anymore. Since it is experiential, a lot of pieces and warm ups have a very deep impact and they stay with me.

Deeksha Joshi – Trainee

Mumbai

Learning through experience has always been my path, and psychodrama has been a powerful method on that journey. It allowed me to revisit different moments and episodes in my life, offering a unique opportunity to explore and understand myself more deeply. Through these experiences, I've gained clarity and perspective that I might never have found otherwise.

Janki Dodia – Trainee

Germany

I have found an effective ally for my NLP practice in psychodrama. I was able to align various contexts, find a common thread and work with that instead of running in multiple directions.

Shubhneet Kaur – Trainee

Hyderabad

It has been an uncovering journey with Psychodrama. Helping me discover myself layer by layer. Enlarging my consciousness by opening tightly closed cells of my vital & body. Also in corporate set-up, it has helped me to see through the people and situations with detailed eyes which has helped to be more reflective rather than reactive.

Bhavita Bhatt Merchant – Trainee

Ahmedabad

This group therapy has been helping me learn about processing emotions that had otherwise been suppressed with past conditionings or created a facade of being strong.

Rohan Merchant – Trainee

Ahmedabad

Psychodrama has shown me the power of creativity, spontaneity, and group work. Through Psychodrama, I have been able to explore, emote and express emotions and feelings that wouldn't have otherwise come up. I love the fact that this is not a cognitive process. During the drama, I could embody my feelings and that created profound healing. As a business leader and professional coach, I see a lot of value in Psychodrama, and I'm hoping someday I can use this intervention to serve people.
