SUMMARY:A Synergetic Approach to Revolutionizing Therapeutic Play with Children (Cape Town\, South Africa)
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Dion will be visiting Cape Town\, South Africa to present a 2-day workshop on A Synergetic Approach to Revolutionizing Therapeutic Play with Children. \nThis 2 day course is designed to help practitioners understand therapeutic play from a neuro-biological perspective. With the help of neuroscience\, interpersonal neurobiology\, and a Synergetic Play Therapy framework\, practitioners will learn how to effectively work with therapeutic play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain and promotes healing for the child.  Through role play\, discussion\, and experiential exercises participants will learn practical techniques that can be used right away in the playroom. Topics such as boundaries\, co-regulation\, nervous system activation\, emotional flooding and use of aggressive toys and play will be explored. \nThis training will also guide participants towards a deeper understanding of what it means to become a child’s external regulator during trauma play while practicing how to care for their own nervous system thereby decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.  The result is the transformation of trauma play into ways of connecting\, healing\, and mutual trust.   \nThis is a 2-day in-person event is being hosted by Rene Ohlhoff at Play Therapy International. For additional information\, please visit their website or contact Synergetic Play Therapy Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com.

SUMMARY:Playing Perfectly: A Play Therapist's Guide for Working with OCD in Play Therapy (LAPT Conference - Day 2)
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa as she Keynotes 2-days at the 2024 Louisiana Play Therapy Association Conference. On day 2\, the topic will be Playing Perfectly: A Play Therapist’s Guide for Working with OCD in Play Therapy. \nDescription:  \nFrom 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. \nSupporting a child struggling with obsessive compulsions and perfectionism can be incredibly challenging as the desire to move the child out of their rigidity and rituals can overshadow the deeper issues and stressors driving the behaviors.  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a complex disorder as the reasons behind the behaviors vary from managing anxiety to past traumas to focused energy inside of a child driving them towards their genius and that which is most meaningful.  Due to the complexity\, therapists often mis-label\, mis-understand and mis-guide these children in how to work with and understand their rituals and need for perfectionism.  Without an understanding of this disorder and how play therapy is able to support the integration of the underlying drivers of the behaviors\, play therapists can inadvertently intensify the inner struggle that is often experienced by these children as they attempt to stop\, control and even deny the urges in their bodies. \nDrawing from Synergetic Play Therapy and interpersonal neurobiology\, this workshop explores 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. \nThis is event is open to the public\, please visit the organizations website for additional information. If you would like your organization to receive training in Synergetic Play Therapy\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com.

SUMMARY:Healing Medical Trauma in Play Therapy (LAPT Conference - Day 1)
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa as she Keynotes 2-days at the 2024 Louisiana Play Therapy Association Conference. On day 1\, the topic will be Healing Medical Trauma in Play Therapy. \nDescription: \nMedical trauma is a prevalent experience for many children who have undergone medical procedures or experienced chronic and acute conditions yet is often not included in trauma discussions. Learn how to use play to help children integrate their medical experiences. \nAccording to the National Child Trauma Stress Network\, up to 80% of children who undergo medical procedures experience some form of traumatic stress and 20-30% of parents and 15% of children experience chronic stress from medical procedures.  Without knowing what medical trauma is and how the symptoms manifest\, play therapists can inadvertently miss signs that the child has experienced a medical trauma or jump to conclusions regarding the child’s behaviors and play.  In this 6-hour workshop\, play therapists will explore medical trauma from the perspective of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology while drawing from Gestalt\, Synergetic and Nature Based Play principles and theories.  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 trauma.  Participants will also explore the symptoms often associated with medical trauma as the symptoms can often be confused with sexual or sensory trauma.  Whether the child has experienced a single incident trauma or is struggling with a chronic illness\, participants will learn what it really takes to integrate their experiences.  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.   \nAs this is a special populations workshop\, it is important that participants already have a solid foundation in play therapy skills and experience.   This workshop is thus geared towards an intermediate level. \nThis workshop helps participants gain a deeper understanding of the diverse impacts of childhood trauma\, specifically medical trauma and its impact on the play therapy process.  As participants learn about medical trauma\, they will also be better able to create treatment goals\, understand possible interventions and design a treatment process that is more congruent for the child and their family. \nThis is event is open to the public\, please visit the organizations website for additional information. If you would like your organization to receive training in Synergetic Play Therapy\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com.

DESCRIPTION:With their changing brains and hormones\, finding ways to integrate play with pre-teens and teens can at times just feel “Awkward”.  Learn how to navigate therapy with our clients who are no longer children\, but also not quite yet adults. \nFrom twelve-year-olds to seniors in high school\, adolescence is a time filled with change. This can make the notion of bringing play therapy to this population a challenge. Do we play? Do we talk? Do I ask questions? What do I do?”  As such\, many therapists find themselves at a loss with this age group\, feeling just as confused as they do!  In this workshop\, play therapists will delve into the mysteries of the teenage mind as we bust myths and glean insight into how to best offer therapeutic support.  Drawing from Developmental theory\, Interpersonal Neurobiology and Synergetic Play Therapy\, participants will explore how to navigate this “awkward” and sometimes “overwhelming” developmental stage using an eclectic framework of non-directive and directive play therapy approaches.  Understanding how to assess the teen’s emotional age\, an area often missed when working with this population\, will also be covered as a way to understand how to incorporate play into the therapy process.   \nThe information presented is designed to open minds and hearts as participants uncover the wisdom of the changing brain and the wisdom of the teenage years.  Through lecture\, demonstration\, and discussion\, this workshop will deconstruct this mysterious stage and support play therapists in discovering how they can help mature and remodel the teenage brain\, while supporting movement towards the discovery of the authentic self- the cornerstone of the development of a teenager’s identity. \nPlay Therapists will learn the importance of attunement and authenticity with this population\, allowing them to demonstrate relationship and rapport building skills.  They will also learn how to access their client’s emotional age helping them to better assess and conceptualize the play therapy and treatment process\, articulate and explain the play therapy process to the parents/caregivers and develop play therapy treatment goals and plans that are congruent with both their own theoretical orientation and the child’s needs. \nThis is an online event that is open to the public\, please visit the organizations website for additional information.

SUMMARY:Alaska Association of Play Therapy - Aggression in Play Therapy: A Synergetic Approach for Integrating Intensity
DESCRIPTION:Although 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  he playroom during play. The result can lead to inadvertently promoting aggression an increasing low brain disorganization. It can also lead to the therapist feeling beat up\, exhausted\nand 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 a Synergetic Play Therapy lens. With the help of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, repatterning of the child’s autonomic activation patterns and decreases compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. \nThis workshop will take therapists to new possibilities as they explore a science-based process for working with children at the deepest\, most profound levels while staying safe and\nsane. They will learn how to make aggressive play therapeutic while understanding what it takes to maximize growth and integration for their clients and themselves. \nThis is event is open to the public\, please visit the organizations website for additional information.

SUMMARY:Justice Institute of British Columbia: A Synergetic Play Therapy® Approach to Revolutionizing Therapeutic Play with Children
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa Dion as she presents A Synergetic Play Therapy® Approach to Revolutionizing Therapeutic Play with Children.  This workshop is designed to help practitioners understand therapeutic play from a neuro- biological perspective. With the help of neuroscience\, interpersonal neurobiology\, and a Synergetic Play Therapy framework\, practitioners will learn how to effectively work with therapeutic play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain and promotes healing for the child. Through role play\, discussion\, and experiential exercises participants will learn practical techniques that can be used right away in the playroom. Topics such as boundaries\, co-regulation\, nervous system activation\, emotional flooding and use of aggressive toys and play will be explored. \nThis training will also guide participants towards a deeper understanding of what it means to become a child’s external regulator during trauma play while practicing how to care for their own nervous system thereby decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. The result is the transformation of trauma play into ways of connecting\, healing\, and mutual trust. \nThis event is open to the public\, please visit the organizations website for additional information.
