What’s What
We created this podcast for you, a clinician looking for inspiration and information from colleagues in the field. Our mission is to present content relevant to the practice of Drama Therapy, with the intention of keeping the community connected and informed. We found the medium and practice of podcasting to be a perfect fit for our goals.
What you’ll notice is that we ask listeners to purchase episodes – something not many other podcasts do. Why? Because first, we believe our product has value; we believe the listener has something to gain professionally from our content. Equally, we believe the guests we ask to come on our show and voluntarily offer their experience, wisdom, and personal information to the professional public deserve to be acknowledged and validated for their contribution to the field of practice.
Currently, we find the best model to bring our episodes to you is through a third-party service, Patreon, where you can subscribe to Drama Therapy Radio for as little as $2 a month, and receive every episode we post. We believe Drama Therapy Radio is a perfect tool for you to hear how practitioners around the world are doing their work, in real time – and you can listen in your pajamas!
What is Drama Therapy?
“The intentional and systematic use of theater process and techniques to achieve psychological growth and change. The tools are derived from theater. The goals are rooted in psychotherapy.”
— Renee Emunah, author
Acting for Real: Drama Therapy Process, Technique and Performance
“Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. This approach can provide the context for participants to tell their stories, set goals and solve problems, express feelings, or achieve catharsis. Through drama, the depth and breadth of inner experience can be actively explored and interpersonal relationship skills can be enhanced.”
