description In considering online psychodrama, two essential questions arise: how to achieve adequate involvement of the protagonist in the experiences in surplus reality on the virtual psychodrama stage and how to overcome the risks of insufficient or excessive involvement. On one hand, when sitting in front of the screen, there is a risk for incomplete reproduction of the traumatic event in the surplus reality and insufficient emotional involvement. On other hand, there is a risk of too strong emotional involvement and immersion in the reproduced trauma in surplus reality, leading to detachment from the here and now reality. No less is the risk of overlapping the constructed surplus reality with the reproduced traumatic event, with the here and now reality of the protagonist, connected also with a risk for too deep sinking in emotions. We are exploring the answers to these questions in four presented cases from practicing training, when it was temporary moved in an online platform.
