SUMMARY:Play Therapy with Pre-Teens and Teens: Workshop - New York APT Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa at the 2021 New York APT Conference!  \nFrom twelve-year-olds to seniors in high school\, adolescence is a time filled with change. This can make the notion of bringing play therapy to this population a challenge.  Do we play?

SUMMARY:Crofton House School Private Training: Becoming Your Child's External Regulator for Conflict Resolution (Closed Training)
DESCRIPTION:Becoming your child’s external regulator for conflict resolution:\n\nAs children work through the challenges and conflicts in their lives\, learning how to self-regulate is a requirement for effective conflict resolution.  However\, children aren’t born understanding how to self-regulate and navigate challenges well.  The capacity for self-regulation is learned over time and often relies on the adults around them.  This 1.5 hour presentation will help parents begin to understand what it takes to help their children increase their self-regulation and navigate the waters of conflict that they will inevitably face as they grow up.\n\nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com

SUMMARY:Free One-Hour Webinar: When the Therapist is in Crisis Too!
DESCRIPTION:Being a therapist (or in a helping profession) is not an easy job as it requires an on-going commitment to show up day in and day out when your clients need you … But what happens when the people we are serving aren’t the only ones in crisis? What happens when we are in crisis too? (We are human after all). And what happens if it’s the same crisis?! \nIn this special one-hour webinar (Part 3 of Regulating Through the Coronavirus webinar series)\, you’ll reconnect to yourself and gain greater internal resources to help you overcome many of the challenges of being a therapist right now. \nIt will be a combination of teaching\, support\, self-reflection\, and discussion\, to help you answer some of these questions and more: \n How do we manage our own internal emotional states when we’re in the same crisis as our clients?\n How do we still maintain the role of external regulator when our nervous system is activated in high levels of dysregulation?\n How do we stay poised\, connected to self\, and hold a larger picture for our self and our clients when our window of tolerance is being tested?\n How do we address the feeling of having a greater sense of responsibility or pressure as a therapist during this time?\n How do we manage if we’re experiencing our own set of challenges during a time of crisis?\n How do we separate “mine from theirs” in a crisis? \nRegister Here! https://event.webinarjam.com/register/13/y8611sy \nIf you can’t make it\, complete the registration anyway and we’ll send you the 7-day playback. \nAnd bring a friend! … Share this free webinar experience with the people in your life.
