Psychodrama is a branch of science that examines and organizes our "relationships and emotions ".
Being born and living in a family. Here we go. Then we go to school and start working life. We get married and start a new family. We move from one of these groups to another throughout our lives.
We establish relationships with our family members, schoolmates, and colleagues. Some of our relationships are going well. But some of them always end in disappointment, no matter how hard we try.
Sometimes, we find the solution to the problems we experience in some of these groups by leaving that group. For example, we change our job. But we cannot change our family. Sometimes we change our job, but we experience the same things again in the new workplace. We cannot change what happened to us.
For example, Aleyna works with a team of five people at work. But Aleyna complains about her workload. She finds her teammates irresponsible. For this reason, she asked her manager for a change of department. Aleyna hopes that her workload will decrease when she joins a new team. After a few months with the new team, Aleyna started to complain about her workload again. Aleyna wants to get rid of this constantly recurring and never-ending situation. Is it possible for Aleyna to change this situation?
Yes it is possible. With psychodrama, you have the opportunity to see, understand and make changes in the problems related to our recurring and unresolved relationships within all the groups we are involved in throughout our lives (family, school, work, marriage) and our emotions that arise as a result.
Aleyna needs to examine her own attitudes that underlie her responsibility in the new business department. The situations we are in do not happen to us by chance, like Aleyna's. The same situation is generally repeated with other groups we are involved in in our lives (family, school, work, marriage). If we can see the whole picture, only then can we create a way out.
To see the whole pictureIt will be a mirror for us to see the situation we are in, where we can see ourselves, where we can get feedback objectively. We need to be part of a reliable group that can share its common experiences with us. Groups that have the characteristics I have mentioned are “Group therapies with psychodrama method”.
With psychodrama, past experiences, current experiences, and even situations that may occur in the future are enacted on the stage. The stage is a free space. It consists of the place chosen by the individual who attempts to resuscitate, the tools and people he chooses. Thus, the scene makes visible and tangible how that individual perceives the situation. Once the situation becomes concrete, it is revived through the eyes of all the parts and individuals in it. When we think inside our own minds, we evaluate the situation from a one-sided perspective. Now you have the opportunity to look at the situation we are in from different perspectives by taking the place of all the parts and individuals on the stage. Thus, your perception expands. The individual who steps onto the stage reaches a level of knowledge beyond what his or her own mind perceives. She sees the whole situation.
For example, when Aleyna portrays the situation at work on stage, she gets the opportunity to see how she establishes relationships with people at work. By looking at the situation through the eyes of his colleagues at work, he can catch clues about how the workload remains on him. He can find a solution to his situation by trying different options that he has not tried before.
