An Exploration of the Use of the Self in Play Therapy (3-Hr. Webinar, Queensland Institute)
December 3
Join Lisa and the Queensland Institute of Play Therapy for a virtual/online training on An Exploration of the Use of the Self in Play Therapy! December 3rd from 9am -12pm Australian Eastern Time (December 2nd 5pm-8pm Mountain Time).
Description:
Join us for a dynamic 3-hour webinar exploring the powerful role of the therapist’s self in the play therapy process. Through the lens of Synergetic Play Therapy®, participants will delve into what it truly means to “use the self” to deepen therapeutic connection and support regulation. This training will introduce the concept of “The Set Up/Offering” to help therapists recognize the unconscious invitations present in the playroom. We will also explore the importance of therapist authenticity as a foundation for attunement and co-regulation, and examine how to identify and work with our own internal “sensitivities” as they arise. These insights will support therapists in showing up more fully and congruently in the therapeutic relationship.
