Gender Drama

[Jen]

I'm an advanced psychodrama student of psychodrama at HVPI, and I am
forming a male to female transgender group as part of my practicum.

I think psychodrama would be an excellent method for people who were
essentially born into the wrong role, and experience distress at having
to either pretend to be in a role that doesn't fit or suffer social consequences for acting in a role others see as inappropriate.  I imagine there will be call for role rehearsal.

I welcome ideas from those who have worked with this population in psychodrama, or those who have ideas for exploring gender identity.  Many of the individuals in this group are only newly allowing themselves to act on their preferred roles as a woman, and this side of them is isolated and yearning for contact.  It will be a rich group.
