Do you find it difficult to help your clients deal with their internal conflicts? How about learning to identify and reorganize their internal roles?
We all have our own “Folks Who Live Inside” — a group of parts, roles, and inner characters that influence our emotions, choices, and relationships. This innovative course, developed by Dr. Esly Carvalho and based on the theory and practice of Psychodrama, presents a practical and creative way for psychotherapists to work with these internal dynamics in their clients.
In this module, you will dive into Role Theory and Role Therapy, learn psychodramatic techniques, practice hands-on exercises, and structure your treatment plan — transforming each client’s inner multiplicity into a powerful tool for self-awareness and change.
This course was developed by Esly Carvalho, PhD, TEP — a certified Psychodrama trainer (FEBRAP / USA), EMDR Trainer of Trainers, and author of the book by the same name.

Be amazed by the potential of your clients’ inner folks and learn how to integrate their internal roles!
The complexity of the inner world often becomes a source of suffering and stagnation for our clients, as unresolved inner conflicts, disintegrated roles, and sabotaging inner voices. This course offers a compassionate and structured path to help clients get to know, name, and reorganize their Folks Who Live Inside.
Grounded in Psychodrama and Role Therapy, Module 1 of this course will guide you through powerful techniques, practical case work, and tools to turn confusion into clarity, conflict into cooperation, and fragmentation into integration. This is an essential approach for both beginners in the field and seasoned psychotherapists looking for innovative and sensitive interventions.
Here are some examples of common issues that you, as a psychotherapist, will be able to address more easily:
Conflicts among the Inner Folks
"I feel like one part of me wants to change, but another part holds me back."
Clients stuck between opposing desires and needs, experiencing internal struggles that hinder therapeutic progress.
Self-sabotaging roles
"Every time I start to improve, I feel like giving up."
Clients who, just as they begin to make progress, are pulled back by inner characters that downplay achievements and sabotage growth.
Low internal integration
"Sometimes I don’t even know who I really am."
Clients reporting confusion and a sense of fragmentation, struggling to recognize and organize inner parts — affecting self-esteem and identity.
Impaired emotional self-regulation
"I lose control easily when certain things trigger me."
Clients overwhelmed by reactive roles that take over in the face of emotional triggers, weakening their capacity for self-regulation and silencing the healthier inner characters.
And much more!
