(NEW) In Person Training – Bringing Play to Adults: A Play-Based Approach to Working with Adults in Trauma Recovery

Every human is built to play, it’s in our biology as mammals. Play becomes a frozen survival response during and after trauma that is a powerful resource in trauma recovery. Play is how we learn to experiment in life so that we can feel more courageous and resilient in our day-to-day life as we survive and recover from traumatic circumstances. Play is done from a place of activated yet grounded connection to self and others, in honor of our future self.

This 4-hour workshop will teach therapists the neuroscience of play so they can engage their clients creativity, courage, and resiliency as well as their own. This workshop will help therapists understand play from a trauma and nervous system perspective, help empower them to identify their clients play strengths, identify their own play strengths, and open the framework of therapy as a playful way through self-exploration.

Registration for each workshop closes one day before the workshop date.
