SUMMARY:Emotional Regulation with Children and Youth: Building Your Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:As neuroscience continues to reveal the importance of developing greater and greater capacities for emotional regulation\, it is essential that clinicians understand the biology behind regulation and how to develop it within the children they work with. This full-day workshop is designed to help clinicians understand exactly what regulation is and is not\, the biological mechanisms in the brain and nervous system allowing for regulation\, and learn practical tools for developing a child’s regulatory capacity. Clinicians will also learn what it takes and how to become the external regulator in the relationship- the most important tool to have in the toolbox. \nIn this workshop\, Lisa makes the growing field of neuroscience accessible and relevant to clinicians of all backgrounds. This workshop caters to both experienced and new clinicians and is applicable to private practice\, agency\, and school settings. Clinicians will leave this workshop with a powerful new perspective on emotional regulation and ideas that they can take straight into their next session.

SUMMARY:2018 Australian Play Therapists Association Web Conference
DESCRIPTION:Aggression in Play Therapy: A Synergetic Approach for Integrating Intensity and Trauma \nAlthough aggression is 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 playroom. \nThis 3-hour workshop led by Lisa Dion\, LPC\, RPT-S\, is designed to help play therapists understand aggressive play from a neuro-biological perspective and through a Synergetic Play Therapy lense. With the help of neuroscience\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation and reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain while decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. \nParticipants will: \n– Understand the link between a child’s dys-regulated states of their nervous system and their play \n– Learn how to set boundaries without shaming or shutting down a child’s play \n– Understand the Synergetic Play Therapy concept of “The Set Up” in the playroom \n– Understand how to facilitate aggressive play in the play therapy process without increasing or promoting aggression \nRegistration details are coming soon!

SUMMARY:Las Cruces Play Therapy Training
DESCRIPTION:Workshop – Aggression in the Playroom: A Synergetic Approach for working with Trauma and Intensity in Play Therapy!! \nAre your play therapy sessions filled with swords fights\, battles\, babies dying\, handcuffs\, you dying\, explosions\, or other highly intense play? Are you often set up to watch or be a part of play that leaves you feeling nervous\, unsafe\, overwhelmed\, confused or just wanting to run away and hide? If so\, you are not alone. \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 playroom. \nThis 6-hour workshop led by Lisa Dion\, LPC\, RPT-S\, is designed to help play therapists understand aggression and death play from a neuro-biological perspective and through a Synergetic Play Therapy lense. With the help of neuroscience\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation and reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain while decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. \nThis fun experiential workshop will take you to new possibilities as we explore a science-based process for working with children at the deepest\, most profound levels while staying safe and sane. You will learn the art of sword fighting\, gunplay\, bop bag play\, and more while understanding what it takes to maximize growth and integration for your clients and for you as the therapist. \nObjectives: This workshop is designed to help participants: \n\nUnderstand the link between a child’s dys-regulated states of their nervous system and their aggressive/trauma play\n Understand the significance of authenticity and authentic expression in the play therapy process\nLearn how to set boundaries without shaming or shutting down a child’s play\nUnderstand how to facilitate aggressive play in the play therapy process without increasing or promoting aggression\nUnderstand Synergetic Play Therapy’s concept of “The Set Up” in the playroom\nLearn how to keep yourself regulated in the midst of intense play/trauma play and death in the playroom\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Boulder Valley School District Training - Developing Emotional Regulation and Discovering What Drives You
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed workshop for members of BVSD. \nDeveloping Emotional Regulation: Awakening the Genius Within Part 1 \nAs neuroscience continues to reveal the importance of developing greater and greater capacities for emotional regulation\, it is essential that teachers\, educators and students understand the biology behind regulation and how to develop it within themselves.  Participants will understand exactly what regulation is and is not\, the biological mechanisms in the brain and nervous system allowing for regulation\, and what it takes to develop a strong regulatory capacity\, one of the key elements needed to maximize learning\, productivity and inspiration. \nDiscovering What Drives You: Awakening the Genius Within Part 2 \nTeachers\, educators and students will be introduced to a framework for human potential that will help awaken the genius within.  Participants will learn what drives them to do what they do and why certain things interest them.  Expanding from part 1\, an understanding of nervous system states as they relate to physiological feedback helping us know when we are on or off track will be explored. Teachers\, educators\, and students are guaranteed to walk away from this talk with a-has and a deeper understanding of what it takes to feel truly inspired in their studies and in their career choices.
