Dive into a fascinating conversation with Dr. Tian Dayton on this episode of 'Beyond Theory.' Host Dominic Lawson sits down with Dr. Dayton, a senior fellow at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, to explore the therapeutic power of sociometrics and psychodrama in treating trauma and addiction. Dr. Dayton shares her unique approach to therapy, emphasising the importance of embodied methods where feelings are experienced within the body.
She introduces 'floor checks,' a psychoeducational exercise designed to help participants tolerate challenging emotions and articulate them in a supportive group setting. These exercises aim to rebuild interpersonal skills often damaged by trauma, allowing individuals to connect and communicate more effectively. The episode also delves into the history and development of psychodrama, pioneered by J.L. Moreno, and how it serves as a foundational technique for modern therapeutic practices. Dr.
Dayton's personal anecdotes and professional experiences bring these concepts to life, making complex therapeutic methods accessible and relatable. You'll hear about her experiences at various conferences, including a memorable session in Las Vegas, where she demonstrated these techniques to an engaged audience. If you're curious about how these innovative methods can aid in healing trauma and addiction, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Dayton's insights provide a fresh perspective on therapy, making it clear why these methods are so effective.
