Summary/Abstract: In this paper I introduce a play, which proves that the technique of psychodrama is capable to create self-healing narratives. Its protagonist creates a family narrative by which he can recall self-empowering memories. He has to go back to his dead ancestors, in order to find out what he can learn from which family member, how one should reestablish outside and inner control, how he can find spiritual consistency, and how life becomes dynamic again. He hopes that through remembering his childhood friend and his childhood self, he will regain his self-confidence. The solution seems attainable through the imagination of a narrative of recalled memories. This is where he can gain power from and meet positive family messages, and then resist negative social heritage. For a change, the old identity has to come to pieces it he collective unconscious and be reborn as a new structure. This is where the narratives speaking it he language of symbols can be of help.
