Week 03: Drama & Story (Days 8-10)

Day 08: Living Stages (Sociometry)

Goal: Visualizing group connections and dynamics.

Activity: Sociometric Spectrograms. Ask questions like "Where are you on the scale of Introvert to Extrovert?" and have people stand along a physical line. Discuss the "Space Between" people as a living entity.

Ethics: Watch for "Left Out" feelings. Ensure everyone is validated in their position on the line.

Day 09: Perspective Shift (The Empty Chair)

Goal: Externalizing internal conflict.

Activity: "The Empty Chair." A participant talks to an empty chair representing a part of themselves (e.g., The Procrastinator) or a situation. Then they swap chairs and respond as that part. Use "Doubling" where other group members stand behind and speak the unspoken feelings (with permission).

Day 10: Word Weaving Roots

Goal: Identifying personal myths through Narrative Therapy.

Activity: "The Tree of Life." Draw a tree. Roots = your heritage/values. Trunk = your skills. Leaves = your dreams. Fruit = your achievements. Use the tree to tell a 2-minute "Origin Story" to a partner.

Psychodrama Safety Warning

Psychodrama can lead to intense emotional "abreaction." Ensure the "De-roling" process is thorough. Participants must explicitly state: "I am [Real Name], I am no longer [Role Name]," and shake off the energy of the scene before leaving.
