How it works

how it works?

The reason the approach I’ve developed works so well is because it combines these four elements:

SAFETY
All my groups and sessions provide a very safe space for your to come out of your shell with a group of people you can really trust who won’t judge you, criticise you, and who are 100% in support of you breaking out of your shell.

I create an informal, relaxed, non- judgmental atmosphere that will quickly put you at your ease, and free you of the internal pressures that normally inhibit you from expressing yourself.  Too much stretch and you will clam up – as you know only too well.

I work with drama because this is the most effective way of achieving this but this is a very different from the kind of drama that you might experience at a drama class. I call it myth-a-drama to distinguish it from other forms of drama. It has been carefully adapted and combined with  some of the most effective personal development tools that will enable you to make a profound shift in the way you express yourself in your life.

SELF EXPRESSION
There are few outlets for self expression in our world. And in the course of withdrawing into your shell, you will have repressed many things. As a result you will have shut down many parts of yourself which will have a knock on effect of shutting down aspects of your power – which may show up as a lowered confidence, self esteem issues, depression and feeling stuck. (This will also sap you energy and you as a result may also experience minor and sometimes major health issues.)

My courses provide a healthy outlet for this emotion through experiential exercises in which you will have an opportunity to play out powerful characters from mythology enabling you to shift out habitual modes of being and play out the many aspects of yourself. And gradually over time the walls that have kept you locked away will simply melt away.

I call this myth-a-drama

FUN AND LAUGHTER
Fun and laughter are a very important part of the process. You will have an opportunity to discovering the innocence and freedom of being a child at play – and this is particularly important if you are someone who gets caught up in the serious things of life or doesn’t even thing that you can play.

Play too can shift energy and debilitating emotional states very quickly. One client has described this as “profound play”.  It is light-hearted and yet also deeply meaningful revealing important insights and discoveries.

GETTING TO THE SOURCE OF UNCONSCIOUS BLOCKAGES
But the real beauty of this approach is that it works directly with the unconscious patterns deeply buried within you. It does this by using the language the unconscious operates in, story, the language too of your dreams. The language that is expressed through powerful archetypes and mythology.

Jung understood the power of this. myth-a-drama draws on Jung’s work and takes this one step further through enacting these powerful archetypes and myths – enabling you to shift these patterns at a very deep level. Enacting these stories you will be able to bring about transformation to buried aspects of yourself through engaging with innocent play.

The reason that myth-a-drama is so effective is that it is working on many levels all at once: at an emotional level, a mental level, a physical level, an unconscious level and for some people at a spiritual level too. It is drama as therapy, as powerfully therapeutic as any therapy and at the same time very liberating.
