Λίγα λόγια για τη Δραματοθεραπεία: Η δραματοθεραπεία συγκαταλέγεται στην κατηγορία των Art Therapies. Πρόκειτα για ένα είδος ψυχοθεραπείας που χρησιμοποιεί εργαλεία όπως η αφήγηση, οι ρόλοι, η ζωγραφική, η δημιουργική γραφή, η χρήση μάσκας, ο πηλός, το παιχνίδι, η χρήση ιστοριών και παραμυθιών, κ. ά, με σκοπό να φέρει στην επιφάνεια υλικό από το ασυνείδητο του ατόμου, με το οποίο μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο θεραπείας να γίνει συνειδητό και να αποτελέσει θεραπευτικό υλικό. Στην δημιουργική αυτή διαδικασία, σκοπός είναι να προκύψει η αλήθεια του ατόμου και σε καμία περίπτωση οι καλλιτεχνικές του δεξιότητες. Στη Δραματοθεραπεία το άτομο έρχεται σε επαφή με το σώμα, το συναίσθημα, τη φαντασία, το νου, κι έτσι ανασύρει υλικό προς επεξεργασία με σκοπό να βρει λύση και να δημιουργήσει νέους τρόπους αλληλεπίδρασης και συσχέτισης με τα όνειρά του και τη ζωή του. Λίγα λόγια για το Mindfulness: Mindfulness σημαίνει "ενσυνειδητότητα". Ως προσέγγιση δίνει καλλιεργεί τη δυνατότητα του να ζει κανεις στο παρόν, βιώνοντας όλα τα συναισθήματά του, με όλες του της αισθήσεις, ως το πιο πολύτιμο μέσο επαφής με τον εαυτό. Προέρχεται από τη φιλοσοφία της Υοga, σε συνάντηση με την δυτική τεκμηρίωση κι επιστημονικότητα και χρησιμοποιείται σε μεγάλο εύρος, με μεγάλη επιτυχία στη μείωση του στρες και του άγχους.
