This paper is a heuristic study, exploring the process of becoming a dramatherapist. It proposes self-revelatory performance as both the heuristic research tool and the container for the findings of the study. The paper chronicles the entire research process as well as the performance piece. The author argues for the importance of self-reflective practices such as this in the training process of dramatherapists. It covers the effect of this research process and gives implications for the practice and training of dramatherapists.
