Episode 38: What If Healing Happened on a Stage? Exploring Psychodrama with Anna Bobikova

Jun 23

What if your biggest breakthrough didn’t come from sitting in a therapist’s chair—but from acting it out on a stage? In this eye-opening and refreshingly fun episode, Katie chats with Anna Bobikova to explore the transformative power of psychodrama—a therapeutic approach where roleplay becomes a tool for healing, insight, and connection.

Anna demystifies the concept of psychodrama (spoiler alert: it’s not as scary as it sounds) and walks us through how stepping into a role—even your future self—can help you shift patterns, resolve conflict, and deepen empathy.

Along the way, you’ll hear:

Why roleplaying is more powerful (and more healing) than we give it credit for
How watching yourself from the outside can lead to massive "aha" moments
What your imagination has to do with emotional growth
And yes… how a very real argument about making the bed turned into a breakthrough

You’ll also learn a simple, practical technique you can try at home to tap into your inner wisdom—even if the idea of roleplay makes your armpits sweat.
