Time2PlayBreak

Time2PlayBreak offers a safe virtual environment where you are encouraged to participate in fun, creative, expressive arts and action methods to gain insight into your life.  

Expressive arts and action method approaches are playful to facilitate creativity and spontaneity so participants can better experience changes in their emotions and begin to understand their behaviors, goals,  and values. 

Dr.  Tanja L. Lee uses projective and embodiment techniques to support the processing of complex emotions, but Time2PlayBreak is not ‘therapy’ in the counseling form.  It offers therapeutic principles that encourage individuals to “try on” different roles to learn more about themselves and express feelings and resolve inner conflict.

Drama Therapy (DT) techniques and other action-based methods, such as playback theatre, movement, and role-reversal, can positively impact an individual's persona and overall well-being. DT and action-based techniques can provide an effective therapeutic outlet for healing that is not found along the regular avenues of therapy for some. Tme2PlayBreak workshops offer a safe place where diverse groups of people can come together to gain insight, express empathy, experience catharsis, and transform into healthy individuals. It is essential to know and understand that healing wounds is not just for the mind but also for the body to work out physically.
