This training will be rescheduled … we’ll share as soon as we have the new dates/times. 

Have you completed Basic EMDR training? Then come experience it with an SPT-twist!

In 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.

Participants 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.

This is a three-day workshop. Following the training, participants may sign up for case consultation with consultants trained in both EMDR and SPT.

Registration details coming soon!
