This 3-Day In-Person Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy hosted by PIP Solutions in the UK will take you on a journey to explore the neuroscience behind what is happening in the play therapy process, how to repattern a child’s nervous system activation, and what it means to become an external regulator in the playroom. You will learn how to work with caregivers effectively and what it means to create a neuroception of safety in play therapy, allowing both the child and the caregiver to have a deeper integration. And if that wasn’t enough, you will come to understand the magic of aggressive play, sand, and art from the perspectives of nervous system regulation, attunement, mindfulness, and authenticity, AND how to apply these concepts to your play therapy practice. You’ll learn all this while also learning how to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue. Come discover what showing up in the playroom truly means and explore what is happening in the play therapy process, how change occurs, and ultimately what it takes to help children heal at profound levels. And the best part is, you get to be you on the journey!
