Sharing

 

 

The sharing phase takes place at the end of the action phase. The group usually forms a circle, usually away from the stage, close to the protagonist. The director and other group members in turn validate the protagonist's psychodrama by identifying in a personal, emotionally involved manner. Sharing can take the form of statements from role and personal resonances. Interpretations and advice to the protagonist are discouraged as they may be in a vulnerable recovery state, unable to take in new material. Interpreting and advice may also be regarded as an avoidance of a group member to experience and accept the protagonist's own outcome. Sharing is also an opportunity for auxiliaries to de-role. A re-entry into the here and now reality of the group and a closure of projecting the identity of a person onto another.
