ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Drama therapy

Okay, so imagine you are playing with your favorite toys and using your imagination to create a story. Drama therapy is kind of like that, but with a grown-up who helps you pretend to be different characters and act out stories.

The goal of drama therapy is to help people feel better by using their imagination and creativity. Maybe you have feelings like being scared or sad that you don't know how to express in words. Drama therapy gives you a way to express those feelings through acting.

Sometimes, people use drama therapy to help deal with problems like anxiety, depression or even physical pain. Through acting, they can explore different parts of themselves and learn how to cope with their problems in a healthier way.

The important thing to remember is that drama therapy is meant to be fun and creative. It's like playing dress-up and make-believe, but with a little bit of help from an expert.
