SUMMARY:Aggression in Play Therapy: A Synergetic Approach for Integrating Intensity (2-Day Keynote)
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa for the Indiana Association for Play Therapy’s 2-day conference June 25-26\, 2026. She’ll be presenting on Aggression in Play Therapy: A Synergetic Approach for Integrating Intensity \nAlthough aggression and death are a common part of the play therapy process\, many therapists don’t have a clear understanding of what to do and how to facilitate the intensity when it enters the playroom during play. The result can lead to inadvertently promoting aggression and increasing low brain disorganization. It can also lead to the therapist feeling beat up\, exhausted and hyper-aroused themselves\, which can over time significantly impact their longevity in the field\, as well as their ability to stay attuned and present to a child in the play room. \nThis workshop is designed to help play therapists understand aggression and death play from a neuro-biological perspective and a Synergetic Play Therapy lens. With the help of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, repatterning of the child’s autonomic activation patterns and decreases compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. \nThis workshop will take therapists to new possibilities as they explore a science based process for working with children at the deepest\, most profound levels while staying safe and sane. They will learn how to make aggressive play therapeutic while understanding what it takes to maximize growth and integration for their clients and themselves. \nVisit the Indiana APT’s website for registration details.

SUMMARY:International Conference Play is the Future 2026 (Italy)
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa for the International Conference: Play is the Future in Chiavenna\, Italy\, July 2-4\, 2026. She will be presenting alongside several other amazing play therapists.  \nLisa will be presenting on The Inner World of the Therapist: A Synergetic Foundation for Play Therapy and Psychosocial Work. \nThis experiential workshop explores the inner world of the therapist as a foundational and practical element of effective play therapy and psychosocial work across diverse environments. Grounded in the principles of Synergetic Play Therapy\, the session invites participants to examine how a practitioner’s internal state—emotional awareness\, nervous system regulation\, and authenticity—directly influences their capacity to connect with others. This capacity for connection is presented as the essential gateway through which attunement and creative responsiveness emerge\, particularly in settings that extend beyond the traditional playroom\, including crisis response\, medical and healthcare contexts\, educational environments\, and work with families. Through guided reflection\, gentle experiential exercises\, and clinical examples drawn from real-world practice\, participants will gain insight into how cultivating internal awareness supports meaningful connection\, allowing attunement and creativity to naturally unfold within play-based and psychosocial interventions across settings. \nGet all the details here.

SUMMARY:3-Day In-Person Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy (PIP Solutions - UK)
DESCRIPTION:This 3-Day In-Person Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy hosted by PIP Solutions in the UK will take you on a journey to explore the neuroscience behind what is happening in the play therapy process\, how to repattern a child’s nervous system activation\, and what it means to become an external regulator in the playroom. You will learn how to work with caregivers effectively and what it means to create a neuroception of safety in play therapy\, allowing both the child and the caregiver to have a deeper integration. And if that wasn’t enough\, you will come to understand the magic of aggressive play\, sand\, and art from the perspectives of nervous system regulation\, attunement\, mindfulness\, and authenticity\, AND how to apply these concepts to your play therapy practice. You’ll learn all this while also learning how to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue. Come discover what showing up in the playroom truly means and explore what is happening in the play therapy process\, how change occurs\, and ultimately what it takes to help children heal at profound levels. And the best part is\, you get to be you on the journey! \nCourse Overview \nThe Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy program has six modules delivered over 3 days and includes: \n\n18 hours in-person teaching with Lisa Dion\n6 one-hour group consultations delivered online over a 6-month time period with a Synergetic Play Therapy Consultant\n3 pre-recorded one-hour video lessons to further your learning\nBook review of Aggression in Play Therapy: A Neurobiological Approach to Integrating Intensity\n\nIf you would like more information or your organization is interested in training in Synergetic Play Therapy\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com.
