For Referrers

Praktijk Speelkracht works closely together with different health care professionals such as psychologists, psychotherapists, family doctors, youth counsellors and colleague art therapists. As a referrer it is sometimes difficult to find the right care for a client. I offer drama therapy to youth (13 to 18 years) and to adults.

Drama therapy is indicated at Praktijk Speelkracht for them who suffer from:

• Anxiety problems
• Negative self-image
• Overload, stress, burn-out, problems with work / study
• Over-stimulation
• Relationship problems
• Grief and loss
• Social-emotional problems
• Traumatic experiences
• Self-care on a psychological and emotional level

Help requests can translate to:

• Wanting to learn to cope differently with feelings and/or behaviors
• Surviving grief and loss
• Rationalizing less (being in the head) and making more contact with feelings
• Understanding the self and listening to feelings
• Not being allowed to be a child, not being allowed to play and wanting to change this
• Being very focused on right and wrong, perfectionism
• Having trouble setting boundaries
• Learning to reflect and anticipate about your own needs and wishes
• Wanting to gain insight into your own internal world of experience and convert unhelpful behavior into helpful behavior
• Experiencing (more) freedom in thinking, feeling and acting
