Reflections from Linda Ciotola, M.Ed., TEP TSM Trainer

Recently, I had the opportunity to direct a private TSM psychodrama a deux, using OEcards, strength roles concretized with scarves, and use of “the triple double” (BD/Classical double/CD in fluid action as needed) from the director’s role. Of course my directing was informed by the TSIRA – the TSM  clinical map of internalized roles . After the drama the protagonist said,” Wow! I am amazed! I never expected to feel so differently – so light- and to realize so many things in a new way . I am astonished at the change I feel !”
I myself am always profoundly moved by the life-changing impact  a TSM drama can have – whether in a group with a full team, or a private drama with a small team, or a deux. I am always grateful to be a TSM trainer and team leader – and that my directing is informed by the Therapeutic Spiral Model.
