... what is  „therapy with puppets“  about ?  
    * Facilitating expression . Giving a language to those who , for whatever reason ,  have too little . 

    * Robbers and other energy suckers cannot stand the light . Put them onto the stage . Have a good view of them from a personal distance . Perspective .  

    * Getting a 3D vision of what's inside of me , inoffensive style. Giving shape(s) to complex feelings , values , voices , situations I lived through but am not through with . 

    * Finding one's own solutions by playing different roles . Gaining in clarity and well-being  . 

    * 'Teach-a-Body' - carrying basic info about body and gender (>education). 

    * Therapeutic work with puppets is generally seen as „art“ therapy . This means it is a tool for specific therapeutic concepts , like psychodrama or Gestalt . These concepts have their own picture of the human being , their own theory of personality and „norm“ality .
