Advanced Seminar in Play Therapy: Building Emotional Resilience with Challenging Clients (2.0 CE)

Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) is a developmentally responsive, research supported, play-based treatment intervention for young children ages 3 to 10 who are experiencing social, emotional, and behavioral disorders. This 2 hour workshop will be highly experiential as we aim to integrate theory with practice using the modality of play therapy. CCPT combines the benefits of play and therapeutic relationship to provide the ideal conditions in which a child can experience safety and full acceptance from the therapist and process trauma and other painful experiences through symbolic play. The goal of CCPT is to use and build upon the child’s creative, authentic potential to move toward sensory and emotional integration and improved relational functioning. You will learn how to construct, introduce, and facilitate a CCPT intervention and how to work effectively to reach treatment goals. Play therapy will be described and demonstrated in detail regarding its use and effectiveness with challenging children who present in both clinical and community settings. Participants will actively engage in CCPT skills throughout the training experience.
