This one day workshop is a creative self-development programme that aims to assist clients in moving forward through the challenge of bothersome Tinnitus. Tinnitus can render us feeling stuck, lost, out of control and that life has lost its meaning. The aim of the programme is to honour and make sense of these challenges in order to transmute them into stepping-stones that lead to a more joyful and meaningful future. The challenge is often overcoming internal obstacles, namely our self-limiting beliefs. In my experience, from a psychological perspective Tinnitus is often a symptom of a bigger underlying issue. The workshop aims to equip clients ‘listen’ to the underlying problem and subsequently become their own help and support system.
This creative self-development programme is specifically curtailed to support individuals in a group setting who, owing to this challenging condition, want to find more meaning and connection in their lives as well as successful ways of managing their emotional reactions to Tinnitus, to aid the habituation process.
The workshop aims
- to guide clients to creatively reflect on the challenges they face in a safe, non-judgemental space
- to facilitate real life ‘connections’ with others in a safe and caring way that is not mediated by a screen
- to develop coping strategies, self-regulation techniques and problem-solving skills when triggered by Tinnitus
- to provide a safe space to consider potential unimagined future paths and roles aside from the ones they currently identity with
Client testimonial ‘Through various dramatherapy exercises and the following debriefings with Julianne, I was able to connect with my innermost feelings, understand my current struggles from different perspectives and eventually resolve my issues from their roots. Julianne is a very experienced drama therapist with the utmost warmth and patience. She knew what I needed most at a particular time and helped me to gain insights of my circumstances in a relaxed, interesting and thought-provoking way.’
