Testimonials

“I am so incredibly grateful for this experience….it goes so much deeper than what talk therapy can provide. I am filled with connection and gratitude. What an honor to both witness and be held in such vulnerability. Thank you for providing such a safe space.”
Life Drama participant
“I have a ton of trauma recovery over thirty years from psychodrama, ACA, and even psychoanalysis, but I have never been able to be in my body. Your workshop...moved me into my body...a rare and precious experience. I would like to explore what more my body has to tell me.”
Life Drama participant
“Thank you so much for this transformative experience. I really believe it has changed my life...It 'unleashed' a part of me that needed to express itself fully without self-judgment. I love this work and can't wait to learn more.”
Life Drama participant
“The couples workshop was very special for me. I was able to experience my partner's presence in a bold and fresh new way…. open and authentic. I was able to calm down and experience a closeness with my partner that I missed.”
Insight Improv for Couples program participant
“Being able to sit down in front of my partner and be heard, to look into his eyes defenselessly and open and know that it was being reciprocated is a really wonderful feeling.”
Insight Improv for Couples program participant
“...a masterclass in self-growth, personal insight, and a cathartic tool that uses both the body and the imagination.”

“As an early adopter of the Insight Improv, I've been practicing it on a regular basis with a partner for nearly 20 years, and it's been life-changing—foundational to my personal growth, healing, and contemplative practices.”

“Joel Gluck offers amazing workshops on Insight Improv that include psychodrama, meditation, authentic movement, working with clients and working with couples. He is a superb facilitator....I first learned about him a while back and have done 4-5 workshops. They have been personally enlivening with a great balance of teaching and experiential work. The work is congruent with IFS. I cannot recommend him highly enough!”
Sherry Golden, MA, MSW; IFS Practitioner and Coach
“I have had the pleasure of being a part of these offerings in Insight Improv. I highly recommend checking them out if you are interested in drama therapy, or if you want to explore a playful, interactive way to approach therapy. A lot of meaningful connection, fun, deep exploration and experiential learning.”
Rick Feltington, Therapeutic Coach and Sacred Play Facilitator
“I learned so much through these practices....I am inspired to learn more so that I can help others as well using this method.”
Insight Improv program participant
“Loved the flow and design of the workshop. The experience for me has been subtle, yet profound.”
Insight Improv program participant
“The workshop was beautifully organized and balanced—between teaching and experiential. I was continually amazed at how much happened in the time we had without any sense of having to hurry or rush through any part of it. I appreciated your kindness to everyone and how you always had something affirming to say about the work we did or what we shared—and how genuine your feedback was. I very much appreciated the small size of the group...I personally received a lot. I had an insight about a difficult relationship that softened my heart and enlarged my understanding and an insight about a difficult part of me where I was able to experience something more deeply that I already knew.”
Sherry Golden, MA, MSW; IFS Practitioner and Coach
“After 18 years of weekly-to-biweekly psolodrama practice, I keep being surprised by how fresh and insightful it is each time. Such a great way to recharge my creative batteries.”
Tom Webb, long-time authentic mover
“I've experienced psolodrama as a rare treat—stimulating and magical.”
Christopher Ellinger, Founding director of True Story Theater
