Sue Gauthier-Pin Drama Reel
The video is divided into a few segments, each featuring a speaker discussing different topics.
One speaker expresses sympathy for the female mosquito, explaining that biting mosquitoes are females who need blood to make their babies. The speaker says they know the difficult experience of trying to have babies, the "desperate drive to become a mother," and the pain of being stopped by "unforeseen forces of nature".
In another segment, a story is told about a man who couldn't be Santa. He "just sat there in the sleigh and stared at the wall for hours silently". Everyone thought it was over until his mother talked with him. She told him that she believed in him "even when nobody else did, even when he didn't believe in himself". She told him, "Clauses don't give up on Christmas, and more importantly, we don't give up on each other". After this conversation, he was able to leave and deliver every gift on time.
Another speaker discusses what happens when people with trauma go on a stage. While they may come in with a structure, know their lines, or have rehearsed with a partner, they don't know how it will go. This uncertainty helps them learn to be "present with yourself, ground yourself, stay connected to your partner". The speaker calls this "experiential learning" and "having a reparative experience in vivo".
