SUMMARY:MD/DC APT Workshop: Healing Medical Trauma in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:In this 6-hour workshop\, play therapists will explore medical trauma from the perspective of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology while drawing from Gestalt Play Therapy\, Synergetic Play Therapy and Nature Based Play principles.  Using creative play-based ways to support children and their family’s healing process\, participants will learn how to create emotional and relational safety for trauma integration.  They will learn what it means to become a child’s external regulator to help integrate the activation in a child’s nervous system while safely allowing the child to access the stored trauma in their body from the medical trauma. As children are not the only ones affected by medical trauma\, care for their caregivers will also be addressed\, as well as an exploration of creative play-based ways to help the entire family system heal.   \nIn addition to learning about medical trauma and its symptoms\, this workshop will also explore the difference between the role of a play therapist and the role of a Child Life Specialist in a medical setting allowing play therapists a greater knowledge in knowing how and when to collaborate with the medical team if a child is going to be experiencing a medical procedure or if the child is in on-going medical care. \nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com

SUMMARY:AIRS Keynote Presentation- Leadership Starts with You: Becoming Your Business's Emotional Regulator
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this 1 hour keynote presentation is to inspire leaders to understand the critical role they play in the health and well-being of their organization in a way that they may have never considered.  That they are indeed the “emotional regulator” for their teams and staff\, helping ground the organization itself and the individuals working in it.  They will be invited to view their organization through the lens of neuroscience and nervous system regulation\, as they learn about the brain\, stress\, and the impact their own nervous system activation has on others and even on the growth of the organization.  Most importantly\, they will be inspired as they learn about self care\, the management of their own internal states\, their ability to regulate other’s emotions and how to help the organization stay steady.  The result of this powerful keynote presentation is a deeper awareness of what self care for themselves and their staff really is and ultimately\, what it means to be a leader.

SUMMARY:Northern California Play Therapy Conference KEYNOTE- Playing Perfectly: A Play Therapist's Guide for Working with OCD in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:From 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. \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.
