We are excited to share the first video created by Anna Bobikova, showcasing the incredible process of group cohesion during a Prescriptive Drama session. In this footage, you’ll see Dr. Steven and Dr. Kate directing the group, utilizing sociometric TSM (Trauma Systems Model) warm-up structures to establish safety and foster connection.

This video is the first in a series of five, each offering a rich glimpse into the dynamics of Prescriptive Drama in action. Through these sessions, the group’s collective “brain” is engaged, revealing the profound power of structured, intentional exercises in building cohesion and creating a safe space for exploration and healing.

We invite you to watch all five videos to fully appreciate the depth and richness of this process. Experience how these techniques bring people together, setting the stage for transformative work. Stay tuned, and let’s dive into the art and science of building connection and safety in therapeutic spaces.
