SUMMARY:Mid-Atlantic Play Therapy Training Institute (Arlington\, VA) Masterclass: Working with Aggression and Intensity in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Mid-Atlantic Play Therapy Institute Conference taking place from June 2nd -June 5th\, 2022. \nAlthough aggression and death are a common part of the play therapy process\, many therapists don’t have a clear understanding of what to do and how to facilitate the intensity when it enters the playroom during play.  The result can lead to inadvertently promoting aggression and increasing low brain disorganization.  It can also lead to the therapist feeling beat up\, exhausted and hyper-aroused themselves\, which can over time significantly impact their longevity in the field\, as well as their ability to stay attuned and present to a child in the play room.\n\nThis workshop is designed to help play therapists understand aggression and death play from a neuro-biological perspective and a Synergetic Play Therapy lens.   With the help of neuroscience and theoretical bases in Experiential and Relational/Humanistic theories\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain and decreases compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.\n\nThis workshop will take therapists to new possibilities as they explore a science based process for working with children at the deepest\, most profound levels while staying safe and sane.  They will learn how to make aggressive play therapeutic while understanding what it takes to maximize growth and integration for their clients and themselves. \nThis Masterclass will take place on June 2nd from 10:00am-5:30pm EST. \nFor more information or to register\, CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:Alabama APT Conference Keynote: Playing Perfectly: A Play Therapist's Guide for Working with OCD in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Supporting a child struggling with obsessive compulsions and perfectionism can be incredibly challenging as the desire to move the child out of their rigidity and rituals can overshadow the deeper issues and stressors driving the behaviors.  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a complex disorder as the reasons behind the behaviors vary from managing anxiety to past traumas to focused energy inside of a child driving them towards their genius and that which is most meaningful.  Due to the complexity\, therapists often mis-label\, mis-understand and mis-guide these children in how to work with and understand their rituals and need for perfectionism.  Without an understanding of this disorder and how play therapy is able to support the integration of the underlying drivers of the behaviors\, play therapists can inadvertently intensify the inner struggle that is often experienced by these children as they attempt to stop\, control and even deny the urges in their bodies. \nDrawing from Gestalt\, Cognitive Behavioral\, and Synergetic Play Therapy theories\, this workshop is filled with non-directive and directive play based interventions to help support play therapists on a path to understand the perfection in these children’s perfection\, while teaching the child how to do the same.  Play therapists will take a deeper look at the regulatory function of the child’s behaviors that manage the internal conflicts and anxieties these children often carry.  Through discussion and experiential exercises\, play therapists will learn how to separate the underlying drivers from the wisdom of the rituals themselves.  With this knowledge\, play therapists will learn how to use themselves and many forms of play to help these children access an understanding of the greatest perfection that exists\, the child just as they are. \nFrom perfectionism to anxiety to self-doubt\, the world of a child struggling with OCD can be incredibly overwhelming. Come explore how to support these children in play therapy and discover how their need for perfection is in fact perfect. \nThis event will take place in person\, June 17th\, 2022 from 8:00am-4:00pm CST \nFor more information or to register\, CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:UK Event hosted by PIP Solutions: Revolutionizing Play and Therapeutic Practice with Children
DESCRIPTION:This two-day training will be delivered by Lisa Dion creator of Synergetic Play Therapy© and founder and President of the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute. Revolutionizing Play and Therapeutic Practice with Children is designed to help practitioners understand therapeutic\nplay from a neuro-biological perspective. With the help of neuroscience\, interpersonal neurobiology\, and a Synergetic Play Therapy framework\, practitioners will learn how to effectively work with therapeutic play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain and promote healing for the child.  Through role play\, discussion\, and experiential exercises participants will learn practical techniques that can be used right away in the playroom. Topics such as boundaries\, co-regulation\, nervous system activation\, emotional flooding and use of aggressive toys and play will be explored. This training will also guide participants towards a deeper understanding of what it means to become a child’s external regulator during trauma play while practicing how to care for their own nervous system thereby decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. The result is the transformation of trauma play into ways of connecting\, healing\, and mutual trust. \nThis two-day event will take place on June 25th and June 26th in Colchester\, Essex. \nFor more information or to register\, CLICK HERE.
