Drama therapy is mental health care that uses the tools of theater to help people heal, grow, and try on new ways of being. Think roleplay, storytelling, puppets, improv, movement, masks, and a whole lot of play.

Here’s the magic: stepping into a story gives us just enough distance to look at the hard stuff with curiosity. You can rehearse a scary conversation before it happens. Give your anxiety a name, a voice, and maybe a silly hat. Talk to a younger version of yourself. Practice being brave in a room where mistakes are welcome.

For kids, play is their first language, so drama therapy meets them right where they already live. For teens and grown-ups, it’s a way back to the parts of us that remember how to imagine.

No acting experience needed. No audience. Just you, your story, and a trained clinician holding space while you explore it.#DramaTherapy #PlayTherapy #expressivearts by @therealworkpdx

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up. 💛

Cultivating a consent based culture starts at home, and it starts small. Here are every day ways to teach consent:

🌱 “Can I pick you up?” before scooping up a toddler.
🌱 Asking “Do you want help, or do you want to try yourself?”
🌱 Letting kids choose whether to sit on a lap or next to you.
🌱 Asking before brushing or styling their hair, and offering choices when it has to happen.
🌱 Narrating care routines: “I’m going to wipe your nose now.”
🌱 Respecting “stop” during wrestling and rough play, every single time.
🌱 Teaching siblings to check in: “Does your brother still like this game?”
🌱 Not insisting they share a toy they’re still using.
🌱 Letting them decline to perform (sing, dance, say hi) for relatives.
🌱 Asking “Is it okay if I tell Auntie about what happened at school?”
🌱 Asking before posting their photo online, even when they’re little.
🌱 Modeling your own boundaries: “I don’t want to be climbed on right now. Let’s sit together instead.”
🌱 Honoring “I’m full” without pushing one more bite.
🌱 Giving a heads up before doctor visits and letting them ask questions.
🌱 Noticing body language: “You pulled away. Did you want me to stop?” by @therealworkpdx
