Comedy Is Therapy
IMPROV COMEDY + MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION = PLAY THERAPY FOR GROWN-UPS
Are you struggling with feelings of disconnection and isolation? Are you too self-critical or perfectionistic and want to work on your self-esteem and sense of self? Do you want to learn how to let go, have fun, and live in the moment? Do you want to get more in touch with your playful and creative inner child? Does the idea of doing improv comedy make you feel nervous, but you’re intrigued? Do you like to laugh?
Within a small supportive group of 4-6 people that meets for eight weeks, you will learn coping skills that will help you to better manage feelings of social anxiety and self-doubt so that you can feel calmer and more connected.
You will gradually practice your new skills in real time through tailored improv comedy exercises that are designed to support you on the path towards working with uncomfortable feelings more effectively. At its core, improv comedy helps you to be kinder to yourself and not take yourself so seriously!
Coupling improv exercises with mindful self-compassion will help you to develop your psychological flexibility and resilience as you tap into your innate creativity.
