2026 San Diego Psychodrama Trainings: Live/In-person

Saturday & Sunday, February 28 & March 1, 2026, 9:00am - 5:0

Self-Compassion through a Psychodramatic Lens

 Research indicates that self-compassion is a powerful source of coping and resilience, radically improving mental and physical well-being. Self-compassion is turning compassion inward. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives. Psychodrama can uniquely help prepare us to move clients into self-compassion by examining their blocks to spontaneity and creativity in their lives. Explore taking Tara Brach’s RAIN technique into action to create change.
