Clients Ask: Drama Therapist Nina Answers

What happens in a *general* session?

We explore the concerns from your consultation using words (yes, sometimes it looks like we're "just talking"), art, music, dance, role playing, improvisation, scene work or other creative ways for you to process & work toward your primary goal(s). Each session generally runs in a five part series, including a check-in, warm-up, action, reflection, and closure. This framework helps ensure material is activated, processed, and dealt with in a way that feels safe - allowing you to leave the session feeling emotionally stable, cognitively grounded, and actively curious about your next moves!  

I'm not an actor/musician/dancer - can I do Drama Therapy?

Of course - you as a human being are naturally creating every day: it just may not feel as intentional as you would like! Life shouldn't be a performance, and yet for many of us that is precisely how we feel from day to day - like we are either A) performing something we intend, B)  performing something someone else told us we should be, or C) unsure how to perform or "Be" at all. Your session will hone in on your natural tendency to create, and help you use that creativity to develop a more aligned & vibrant version of You.  

What sort of issues do you treat?

I specialize in Trauma, Emotional Sobriety, and Identity work. Empowered Human focuses this to bring one-of-a-kind intensives to high achieving men who are struggling with their emotional arena. People come to me for concerns regarding their emotions (feeling too much, not enough, or nothing), thoughts (thinking too much, blocked, or disorganized), and their behaviors (impulsive/dangerous, rigid/stifling, avoidant, and so on). Your diagnosis is important only in that we consider best psychotherapeutic practices - your humanity is of primary concern. 

How can this enhance my personal practice?

I primarily work with narratives stored in the body: the stories, identities, and roles you've developed over time. Completely avoidant? Got tension all the time? Snap for "no reason"? We know there's a reason - and I want to help you find it.
