Dramatherapy and Narrative Therapy

By using the Tree of Life, participants gain non-verbal insights in to who they are, who they want to be as a person and professional, and how they can work with the tree of life with their client group. Symbolically the participants think about their roots through:

• Family history
• The ground (current situation)
• Trunk (qualities and strong parts)
• Benches (wishes and dreams)
• Leaves (the ones who are special to us)
• Fruit (symbolic gifts from others)

The tree is first drawn with different art materials, and after this the tree will be given further shape with dramatherapy techniques.
