SUMMARY:Pilina in the Playroom- Oahu\, Hawaii
DESCRIPTION:Pilina in the Playroom:  Neurobiology and Attachment in Play Therapy is a 5- Day Play Therapy Retreat held on the peaceful North Shores on the island of Oahu\, Hawaii. At a relaxed island pace\, the theories of attachment and neurobiology come together as Lisa Dion\, LPS\, RPTS and Clair Mellenthin\, LCSW\, RPTS present on how to develop connection to self\, others\, and communities.  You will learn how to create an authentic attachment to yourself which becomes a powerful tool in the play therapy room with our clients young and old. By developing play-based regulation and co-regulation strategies for use in the playroom\, we can encourage and foster stronger connections in the families we work with.  You will discover how attachment theory can guide your play therapy practice and how to encourage and develop deeper attachment relationships between you\, your child clients\, and their caregivers. \nParticipants will spend five days learning new and innovative play therapy techniques including hands on experiential activities\, guided imagery\, regulation strategies\, sand tray interventions\, and expressive arts in a gorgeous setting with plenty of time for self-care\, rest\, and rejuvenation built into the program.  We will be spending an entire afternoon doing Sandtray ON THE BEACH learning attachment centered Sandtray interventions!  You will leave with a creative toolbox of tips\, techniques\, and a clear understanding of how attachment styles impact relationships and the confidence and competence needed to make a difference in the lives of many. \nEach day has been carefully planned to allow time for self-reflection\, learning\, case studies\, and hands on experiential learning.  You will be treated with 22 hours of play therapy education and come home with a toolbox of play therapy interventions.  Most importantly\, you will leave this beautiful island retreat rejuvenated and ready to jump back into practice\, feeling confident and competent in the knowledge you have gained.   \nGet more info here.

SUMMARY:Australian Childhood Foundation International Speaker Tour - Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Dion is the creator of Synergetic Play Therapy – a researched-informed model of play therapy based on nervous system regulation\, interpersonal neurobiology\, physics\, attachment\, mindfulness\, and therapist authenticity. It aims to replicate the delicate dance of attunement that occurs between a caregiver and an infant. It focuses on ensuring that the practitioner’s verbalizations and non-verbal activity are congruent during the play therapy sessions in order to transmit trust and safety. In doing so\, the approach maximizes right-hemisphere to right-hemisphere communication and acts as an external regulator for children’s dysregulated states as they arise in the therapeutic process. \nLisa defines the therapist as the most important toy in the playroom. Her approach is applicable to all children\, as the basis for her theory is rooted in neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology.  Her work is also effectively applied to work with children and young people who express aggression in their behavior during the therapeutic process. This is a vital new area that has rarely been conceptualized. Lisa’s approach highlights how a compassionate and relational orientation is critical to gaining awareness of the multiple layers of meaning that occurs in the exchanges between therapist and child/young person. \nUsing hands-on and practical techniques\, Lisa will assist the group to trace the moment by moment shifts in regulation between therapist and child\, providing a level of insight which supports the transformation of aggression into ways of connecting and mutual trust. \nRegister here.

DESCRIPTION:Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) employs insights from interpersonal neurobiology to help difficult clients achieve self-regulation. This full day workshop is designed to help clinicians understand what regulation is and is not\, the biological mechanisms in the brain and nervous system allowing for regulation\, and the practical tools for developing a child’s regulatory capacity. Clinicians will also learn what it takes and how to become the external regulator in the relationship – the most important tool to have in the toolbox.

SUMMARY:Wisconsin Association for Play Therapy - Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:Aggression in the Playroom – a Synergetic Approach for Working With Trauma and Intensity in Play Therapy \nAre your play therapy sessions filled with swords fights\, battles\, babies dying\, handcuffs\, you dying\, explosions\, or other highly intense play? Are you often set up to watch or be a part of play that leaves you feeling nervous\, unsafe\, overwhelmed\, confused or just wanting to run away and hide? If so\, you are not alone. \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 playroom. \nThis workshop is designed to help play therapists understand aggression and death play from a neuro-biological perspective and through a Synergetic Play Therapy lense. With the help of neuroscience\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation and reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain while decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. \nThis fun experiential workshop will take you to new possibilities as we explore a science-based process for working with children at the deepest\, most profound levels while staying safe and sane. You will learn the art of sword fighting\, gunplay\, bop bag play\, and more while understanding what it takes to maximize growth and integration for your clients and for you as the therapist.

SUMMARY:Synergetic Play Therapy and EMDR - Albuquerque
DESCRIPTION:Have you completed Basic EMDR training? Then come experience it with an SPT-twist! \nIn this workshop\, therapists will have a one of kind experience exploring the basic components of play therapy from a neurobiology perspective as they get introduced to Synergetic Play Therapy and learn how it applies to the EMDR process with children.  Through didactic and experiential teachings\, participants will learn cutting-edge research on neural anatomy\, mindfulness\, attachment theory and brain development as the research is translated into practical ways of working with children and parents.  Participants will gain an understanding of the Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP) in EMDR as it relates to Synergetic Play Therapy. \nParticipants will also learn what it means to attach to one’s self as the cornerstone for all healing\, the importance of congruent emotional expression in the playroom\, how to identify types of dys-regulation in the playroom\, how to model regulating activities to the client\, how to talk to and involve parents and ultimately how to re-pattern a child’s nervous system through the play therapy process.  Aggressive play will also be covered from the perspective of nervous system regulation\, attunement\, and mindfulness.  Finally\, participants will also learn how to track a client’s changes in a simple\, yet comprehensive way. \nThis is a 3-day workshop. Following the training\, participants may sign up for case consultation with consultants trained in both EMDR and SPT. \n
