Trauma-Informed Sandtray Therapy For for the Play Therapist

Supervision Session offered April 1st Stephen P. Demanchick, Ph.D, LMHC, RPT

The New York Association For Play Therapy, Inc.

 

Description of Workshop This two-day workshop will provide play and sandtray therapists an exploration into trauma-informed dynamics for ones’ ongoing clinical work, theory, and client conceptualization. The focus will be conceptualizing and integrating the three stages of trauma-informed therapy work with sandtray. This includes the use and importance of the “trauma narrative”, “life narrative”, and “family narrative” in successful treatment. The value of the family narrative and family script regarding the traumatic event will be discussed. We will also explore the inclusion of spirituality/religion as a possible resource for trauma victims and their families. Case studies and examples will be given. Participants: Please bring 10-15 miniature figures with you. We will practice and play, too.
