Presentation of two trainings during the First Bulgarian Symposium in Tele’drama
The first Bulgarian Symposium on Tele’drama was held at the beginning of June 2022. Together with colleagues we had the opportunity to present two exciting trainings and demonstrate how we can use psychodramatic techniques online through Tele’drama.
“The Road to Disease. From the body to the words.”
Violeta Azis, PhD and I provided a space to explore how we can use psychodrama when we work with psychosomatic illnesses. We searched for the interrelationships between different difficulties that condition the disease. What is the body trying to tell us and why are we getting lost in translation? An extract from the book “The Life of Hunger” by Amelie Notomb, draws attention to the search for a path between our inner and body space:
“… Later I explained to myself the etymology of the word “disease”. A sick person is a person, I decided, who has “painful” things to say but cannot say them. The body says it instead of him in a form of some disease. An admirable idea, according to which, if you manage to express yourself with words, you do not suffer physically…”
“Fear of success or when success meets fear – allies or enemies?”
Together with Vanya Ivanova we opened the topic around the nature and expression of the “fear of success”. With the help of the psychodrama we were able to demonstrate and show closely this phenomenon. We’ve gone through a lot of factors that influence its origins, as well as what experiences a person goes through when they fear success.
We sought answers together in the debate between fear and success, checking whether they can be allies or enemies. Participants had the opportunity to experience the subject through the action techniques of Tele’drama and gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of it.
