Return to Drama Therapy FAQs) (Return to Top of Page) Do I have to role play or act things out?
Role play can be a part of drama therapy but is not always. This depends on your needs and your comfort level in therapy. Role play can be useful in preparing for an event such as a job interview or a difficult conversation with your spouse. It can also be effective in learning new communication styles. Role play does not always mean acting on stage. It could simply mean imagining what someone might say in a given situation.
