Moving Exiles: The Bridge Between Internal Family Systems & Psychodrama

Moving Exiles: The Bridge Between Internal Family Systems & Psychodrama – 71st Annual Group Psychotherapy & Psychodrama Conference

Presented by Valerie Simon, LCSW, PAT and Adrienne Glasser, LCSW, RDMT

We will explore the Internal Family Systems [IFS] concept of “unburdening exiles” and how it relates to psychodramatic method.  In IFS, exiles are wounded internal children or traumatized parts that are frozen in time.  An overview of IFS leads to spontaneous therapeutic movement sequences from various internal parts.  We conclude with a full psychodrama, working with all parts from an IFS perspective, including exiles. We will combine many modalities such as movement, mind/body awareness, IFS, and psychodrama.
