How does drama therapy help people who have been through trauma?
And what about people in prisons? How does drama help those struggling with addictions or spending time incarcerated?
Today I am speaking with Mark MacNicol who has worked with over 5,000 people through his workshops and 1-1 work.
We talk about drama therapy and its benefits. And he explores how he uses AI for self-development.
Thank you Mark.
