Daily Affirmations
- Panic
I will work with my feelings of panic today. Rather than swing into emotional action by shutting the feeling down or by projecting my own panicky feeling onto someone else, I will first identify it as a feeling within me. When I project the feeling, I do not experience it. Then I do to another [...]
- Being Open
Today I feel open to whatever is going on, recognizing that it is the quickest way to process repressed material, the fastest way to grow and the most fun way to live my life and feel alive. In recovery I process
years, even decades of material in a condensed time. There are moments when I feel [...] - A Full Human Being
I am willing to pay the price of personal and spiritual growth. Confronting the situations both within and outside that frighten me is not easy-it can feel terrifying, sometimes almost life-threatening. But today, rather than bemoan my fate, I will reach deep down into myself and look for something good. I will be sustained not [...]

Trauma and the Body Psychodrama Video
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
 |
The body remembers the trauma that the mind does not. Psychodrama provides a space for the body to speak, for somatic memory to become conscious, and for the mind to connect and process what the body is experiencing. In this video, Travis speaks to his wounded heart and works through his fear of dying; Sheila speaks to her mother who committed suicide and releases anger that was locked up for many years; and Amal speaks to the birth mother she never met, confronting the belief that she was never loved or wanted. Dayton highlights the emotion that emerges from these participants’ bodies, and helps give voice and meaning to the catharsis that emerges so that an integration between mind and body can occur.

Healing Childhood Abuse through Psychodrama Video
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
 |
Psychodrama recreates powerful relational dynamics from the past to bring about cathartic change in the present. Trauma from child abuse remains trapped inside us and continues to threaten our feelings of safety and wellbeing through adulthood. Psychodrama allows us to safely reinhabit the body at the point of past abuse and make sense of the experience from an adult perspective. In this video, Bob fears that he is passing on the legacy of abuse from his stepfather to his four-year-old granddaughter. He acts out scenes with his mother, stepfather and granddaughter, playing both himself and reversing roles. In so doing, Tian helps Bob release hidden emotions, say the things he never got to as a child, and create new meaning around his past and current relationships.
