In twelve-step programs, people heal partly through the telling and sharing of their own stories. It is through the sharing of the trauma and pain and the subsequent healing that people form common bonds that unite them. Then, to get beyond that connection of pain, they need to go further by sharing their soulful moments, their hopes, and their dreams. This requires re-establishing a relationship with their creativity and, through their higher awareness, connecting with others on a spiritual level. This workshop will begin to teach your counselor how the new seven stage group action model of Souldrama® can be applied to the process of recovery. Using action methods offers exciting and effective ways to expand and enliven communication, learning, skill building and self- discovery in groups with those in recovery from substance abuse. Who can use these techniques;
