AIRS Keynote Presentation- Leadership Starts with You: Becoming Your Business's Emotional Regulator
2021-05-14 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Online
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.

MD/DC APT Workshop: Healing Medical Trauma in Play Therapy
2021-04-23 09:00 - 16:00 UTC | Online
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.
In 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.

2021-04-16 | Online
Join Lisa at the 2021 New York APT Conference!

Describe why it is important not to have a script for when to apply directive and non-directive play therapy interventions with pre-teens and teens
Discuss the importance of assessing the pre-teen or teen’s emotional age in the play therapy process
Explain the most important goal when applying play therapy to your work with pre-teens and teens

Crofton House School Private Training: Becoming Your Child's External Regulator for Conflict Resolution (Closed Training)
2021-02-16 18:00 - 19:30 UTC | Online
Becoming your child’s external regulator for conflict resolution:

As children work through the challenges and conflicts in their lives, learning how to self-regulate is a requirement for effective conflict resolution. However, children aren’t born understanding how to self-regulate and navigate challenges well. The capacity for self-regulation is learned over time and often relies on the adults around them. This 1.5 hour presentation will help parents begin to understand what it takes to help their children increase their self-regulation and navigate the waters of conflict that they will inevitably face as they grow up.

Free One-Hour Webinar: When the Therapist is in Crisis Too!
2020-12-02 19:00 - 2020-12-03 20:00 UTC | Online
Being a therapist (or in a helping profession) is not an easy job as it requires an on-going commitment to show up day in and day out when your clients need you … But what happens when the people we are serving aren’t the only ones in crisis? What happens when we are in crisis too? (We are human after all). And what happens if it’s the same crisis?!
In this special one-hour webinar (Part 3 of Regulating Through the Coronavirus webinar series), you’ll reconnect to yourself and gain greater internal resources to help you overcome many of the challenges of being a therapist right now.
It will be a combination of teaching, support, self-reflection, and discussion, to help you answer some of these questions and more:
How do we manage our own internal emotional states when we’re in the same crisis as our clients?
How do we still maintain the role of external regulator when our nervous system is activated in high levels of dysregulation?
How do we stay poised, connected to self, and hold a larger picture for our self and our clients when our window of tolerance is being tested?
How do we address the feeling of having a greater sense of responsibility or pressure as a therapist during this time?
How do we manage if we’re experiencing our own set of challenges during a time of crisis?
How do we separate “mine from theirs” in a crisis?
