In this workshop, we will explore the helplessness, fear, and resiliency that clients have experienced during COVID-19. We will discuss the ways in which spirituality and creativity can potentially make a difference in therapy and in clients’ healing journeys. We will also explore how clinicians can continue their own journey with integrity and honesty while holding a sacred space for clients to explore the myriad of emotions and ongoing sequela associated with Covid.
Participants will learn practical, user-friendly assessment tools to determine levels of fear, faith, spirituality, vulnerability, and resilience. Modalities can be used in-person or with tele-therapy. They include: listening to, singing, or producing music; incorporating Role-play, Storytelling, Games, Puppetry, or parts work; working with Art; poetry writing and reading; meditation, breath work, mindfulness, centering prayer, and movement. We will also discuss how to incorporate EMDR, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), IFS, and Trauma Informed Care. Participants will also learn how to shift clients from fear to faith by incorporating a myriad of religious and spiritual belief systems, including 12-step programs and their religious counterparts like Celebrate Recovery. We will also explore how to strengthen clients’ self-compassion and loving-kindness.
