Play therapy can do more than we thought.

The basic components of play therapy can be explored in this workshop. Synergetic Play Therapy is the first research-informed play therapy model to blend neuroscience, attachment/attunement, therapist authenticity, physics, emotional congruence, nervous system regulation, andMindfulness. As the research on brain development is translated into practical ways of working with children and parents, you will learn a lot.

What it means to attach to one’s self as the cornerstone for all healing, the importance of congruent emotional expression in the play room, how to model regulating activities to the client, how to talk to and involve parents, how to identify types of dysregulation in the playroom, how Aggressive play will be covered from the perspective of nervous system regulation. You will learn how to track a client’s changes in a simple, yet comprehensive way.

1. Describe the importance of understanding neurobiology when working with children in the play therapy setting
2. Determine how to use neuroscience to support the integration of aggressive play and reduce compassion fatigue in play therapy
3. Explain the projective process and “The Set Up/The Offering” in Synergetic Play Therapy
4. Identify the stages that a child moves through in Synergetic Play Therapy
5. Describe strategies for engaging children and their parents in therapy while maintaining a therapeutic environment
6. Consider the ethical implications and clinical limitations of using play therapy in clinical practice
