drama therapy (noun) ~ a type of psychotherapy that uses dramatic and theatrical techniques to achieve therapeutic goals.

The beauty of drama therapy is that it is flexible, custom-tailored to each client, and works in a creative way that often stimulates more playfulness and curiosity around difficult chapters in our personal stories.
