Episode 4- Lockdown Struggles

Season 2 is here! We have been quiet and working on new content over the summer so we are excited for this revamped episode to really get us into the spirit of season 2! This episode looks more closely at what a dramatherapy session looks like, and we are so excited to have you listen again!

We are back! After a long and unexpected break we are finally back for Episode 7 of DTherapy Space Podcast! Today we are joined by two incredible therapists Mabel and Louisa, but plot twist...one of them is a fury friend 🐶. Louisa will walk us through her incredible journey with her lovely dachshund Mabel as she explores the potential of dog therapy within the context of dramatherapy! We are so excited and had such a cute time recording with Mabel! Louisa contacted us to also share the wonderful work of Underdogs International for getting dogs into schools to work therapeutically with children.

Although we have been a little delayed in releasing this episode, we are glad to be back in full swing! Today we are sharing the importance of finding a therapist and why breaking down stigma of therapy is so so important! If you follow us on Instagram and Facebook, we have been sharing different types of therapies available in the month of March! This episode is a little extension of that! Enjoy!

The fifth episode of our podcast is tackling the conversations around Imposter Syndrome; what is it and why does it make us feel so unworthy? We wanted to share the raw experiences of therapists experiencing difficulties during lockdown. Tune in to hear more! We will be exploring Valerie Young's book: The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Imposter Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of it.

Happy 2021!! This episode we are finally acknowledging the universal struggles we have all been going through- COVID-19, Pandemic and Lockdown blues; the struggles for therapists during a large mental health crisis and how we can help during this difficult time. Grab a blanket and hot drink, because we are not beating around the bush for this one!

This episode we welcome a special guest, Abigail Nelson, a dramatherapy trainee who shares her story of doing a training course over zoom! We talk online therapy, online learning, life in our living rooms, and of course COVID-19 and Mental Health! Tune in for more.

In today's episode we are going back to our pre-qualified years when we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. It is an emotional recall of our experiences training to becoming dramatherapists. We are giving you all the honesty and raw-ness of intense training, doubt, disbelief and above all, courage! TUNE IN!! And as always, email us on [email protected] with questions and topic ideas!

In this first ever DTherapy Space Podcast episode, we answer the question that we even struggle to answer- what is dramatherapy? How do we access it? Does it really help? Can I make a career out of it!? All of this, and more, will be discussed between two dramatherapists trying to bring awareness about this creative form of psychotherapy!
