Abstract:
This study aims to integrate the methods of Socratic questioning, psychodrama, and
group therapy to facilitate individuals’ restructuring of past traumas, transformation of negative
thought patterns, and acceleration of healing processes. Supported by hybrid (online and face-toface) sessions, cognitive journals, and social-cognitive interaction, this model holistically
addresses both cognitive awareness and emotional experience. The proposed approach is
expected to contribute not only to social learning and empathy emerging from group dynamics
but also to individual processes of self-awareness. The findings of this study hold the potential to
introduce an original and innovative therapeutic model in the field of clinical psychology.
