Personal Story

I really enjoyed dramatherapy as it was an interesting journey of self discovery! It was really nice to have the other people in the room with you, and you could talk, and be open and honest about things with people and not have them judge you and they were all totaly understanding! Dramatherapy helped me to understand that i don't have to be this pretend person anymore, it has helped me to let down this mask i put up, even if its just for a few minuites in front of them, which is a really big achievement for me - to be my true self in front of people!
