Wow this was beautiful. I'm definitely going to be looking more into drama-therapy

[@doctordrama8620]

Hey. Thank you so much for sharing your kind words. So glad this video peaked your interest in drama therapy.

[@jninlove]

"Please do not discount self-care." this is the most valuable takeaway from this video.

[@doctordrama8620]

Absolutely Grace. Selfcare is a necessity not a luxury and we can't emphasise that enough.

@@anupriyabanerjee3817 Great speech about drama therapy. Just a suggestion, you can perhaps use a simpler example like depression/stress in work and how drama therapy cure it. That will help to make your speech so much more relevant to the public.
