The impossible dream

  To reach the impossible dream... It is not easy though S-Binn, Keith n myself were working on a play group with the Ramakrishna children. Time flies as we are at the 7th session and ending on the 8th session 24 Sept. I m still learning to use the dramatherapy format and there seemed to be so many hidden secrets and gems to unfold. M listening to the supervision audio from Alex. Something he mentioned on 'self-disclosure' tend to bring the group together to negotiate for ground rules, add humor...etc...

Planning the activities in the dramatherapy format is no fun ... as it requires so much of inner thoughts, reflections, aims for the session to be met. Every game has an intent on what to achieve from the very 1st instruction and to think of all the potentials (why chose to draw a horse, why not a home, a tree....?) What is the purpose and intention? A string of ??????........
Thought that this group work will helped in the CPPD '09 module on TUOG and project submission will be easy but it wasn't.
Everything seemed so tough for a while, I have run BOLD's group work in 2006 and this is so much of analysis, post-mortem and etc... "Chung chi...hern nan le..." and this is meeting the impossible dream.

Alex's WORDS: "Nothing is fixed...keep on thinking....how can I use one activity and developed it into another... Use character role play to develop social skills..." and many many more....
