SUMMARY:Hawaii APT Conference (Virtual): Revolutionizing Play & Therapeutic Practice with Children
DESCRIPTION:This two-day virtual training will be delivered by Lisa Dion creator of Synergetic Play Therapy© and founder and President of the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute. \nRevolutionizing Play & Therapeutic Practice is designed to help practitioners understand therapeutic play from a neuro-biological perspective. With the help of neuroscience\, interpersonal neurobiology\, and a Synergetic Play Therapy framework\, practitioners will learn how to effectively work with therapeutic play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain and promote healing for the child. Through video\, discussion\, and experiential exercises participants will learn practical techniques that can be used right away in the playroom. Topics such as boundaries\, co-regulation\, nervous system activation\, emotional flooding and use of aggressive toys and play will be explored. \nThis training will also guide participants towards a deeper understanding of what it means to become a child’s external regulator during trauma play while practicing how to care for their own nervous system thereby decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. The result is the transformation of trauma play into ways of connecting\, healing\, and mutual trust. \nThis event will take place on March 4th and 5th\, 2022 from 9am-4:30pm HST. \nFor more information or to register CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:Crofton House Virtual Presentation (Closed)- To Rescue or Not: What to do when my child is struggling
DESCRIPTION:This is a private event for Crofton House. \nWhen children face hardship\, adults in their lives can sometimes fall into the role of fixer or rescuer. It is often the case that we have had similar experiences and knowing that our kids are struggling makes us feel uncomfortable and want to make it better. After all\, isn’t it our job to protect our kids? I think we can all agree that we want our kids to be happy\, but when we protect our kids from hardship and discomfort we can actually be doing more harm than good. \nPlease join us for a virtual discussion with Lisa Dion where we will explore important questions and learn coping techniques that will help us sit with discomfort and foster resilience in our children. Some topics to be discussed will include: How to help our kids learn how to tolerate uncomfortable feelings\, why it is important for kids to not be happy all the time\, what resilience is and how it is cultivated\, and why it is hard for us when our kids are uncomfortable. \nThis event will be held on March 2nd\, 2022 from 6:00-8:00pm PST. \nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com

SUMMARY:San Diego Retreat- Anchoring in the Storm: Using Community and Connection to Reflect\, Connect and Build
DESCRIPTION:Using the metaphor of anchoring in the storm\, we invite you into the safe harbor of community to heal\, repair\, and rebuild connections to others as well as to your Self. Many of us have been in survival mode and may be feeling that we lost touch with ourselves as we have worked to protect and offer shelter to our families\, our clients\, and our communities. During our time together\, we will guide you using creative arts\, movement\, journaling\, group activities and group discussion to reflect\, rediscover and rebuild the parts of you that got lost and/or damaged in the storm. You will leave with a greater awareness of what you have been through\, where you are now\, and what you need moving forward. You will also leave knowing that you are not a boat alone in the sea\, but a part of a mighty fleet that has your back. We specifically chose the harbor as our setting to anchor in this symbolism right when you step in the doors. Join us for a unique learning opportunity as you get to first hand embody and apply the learnings directly to your own life and personal experiences. \nFor more information or to register\, Click Here!

SUMMARY:The 37th Annual San Diego International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment
DESCRIPTION:Lisa will be presenting TWO workshops at the 37th Annual International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment (In-Person OR On-Demand). \n1.) Becoming an External Regulator for Trauma Integration \nResearch in neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology sheds light on the need for the therapist to act as the external regulator supporting the client to move towards the intensity they are experiencing allowing for integration.  This workshop explores this need during trauma integration for two primary reasons: 1) Clients need to borrow the therapist’s regulatory capacity as they work through their traumatic thoughts\, feelings and sensations in therapy and 2) The therapist’s ability to regulate themselves during the intensity increases the capacity for presence and attunement with the client\, while simultaneously supporting the health and longevity of their own nervous system. \nWithout the ability of the therapist to become the external regulator for the intensity that arises during trauma integration\, both the client and the therapist are at risk for emotional flooding and high levels of dysregulation in their nervous systems.  Over time\, this can significantly impact a therapist’s longevity in the field\, as well as the ability to stay attuned and present to a client in sessions. \nSan Diego (Live or Virtual): January 26th\, 2022 @ 8-9:15am PST \n  \n2.) Understanding and Integrating Trauma Play  \nChild therapists are on the front line every day helping children integrate the traumas in their lives.  Often their sessions are filled with swords fights\, battles\, babies dying\, handcuffs\, the therapist dying\, explosions\, or other highly intense play. During these sessions\, therapists are set up to watch or be a part of play that often takes them right to the edge of their own window of tolerance and capacity to hold the intensity. \nAlthough aggression and death are a common part of trauma play\, 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.  This workshop is designed to help play therapists understand trauma play from a neuro-biological perspective and using a Synergetic Play Therapy lens\, discover ways to support integration. \nSan Diego (Live or Virtual): January 26th\, 2022 @ 1-2:15pm PST \n  \nFor more information or to register for the conference\, click HERE.

SUMMARY:South Dakota State University Workshop: Working with Aggression and Intensity in the Playroom
DESCRIPTION:Although 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 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 theoretical bases in Experiential and Relational/Humanistic theories\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with this type of play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain 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. \nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com

SUMMARY:Private Event: Becoming a Child’s External Regulator- A Synergetic Approach to Education for Teachers and Educators
DESCRIPTION:This is a private event hosted by the BC Centre for Ability Association and will be from 6:00pm-8:00pm PDT each night. \n\n\nAs neuroscience continues to reveal the importance of developing greater and greater capacities for emotional regulation\, it is essential that teachers and educators understand the biology behind regulation and how to develop it within the children in their classrooms.  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 become a child’s and the classroom’s external regulator to develop a child’s regulatory capacity.\n\n \nBased on interpersonal neurobiology and Synergetic Play Therapy principles\, this workshop takes participants into a deeper understanding of the children they work with\, as well as themselves as they discover a fresh perspective on behavior\, moods\, and emotions.\n\nObjectives: \n1. Participants will be able to identify how the brain processes information\, activates the different states of the nervous system and the impact this has on children’s moods and behaviors \n2.  Participants will understand what it means and what it takes to become a child’s external regulator. \n3.  Participants will learn how the environment contributes to a child’s ability to self-regulate \n4.  Participants will gain insight into how to develop or repattern a child’s regulatory capacity \n\n\nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com

SUMMARY:Core Wellness Webinar with Liana Lowenstein: Tips and Techniques to Address Anger and Dysregulation
DESCRIPTION:Research in neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology sheds light on the need for therapists and parents to act as the child’s external regulator during states of dysregulation. When activated\, children need to borrow the therapist’s and the parent’s regulatory capacity as they work through their challenging thoughts\, feelings and sensations. Without the ability of the therapist or the parent to become the external regulator for the intensity that arises for the child\, both the child and the adult are at risk for emotional flooding and high levels of dysregulation in their own nervous systems. Over time\, this can significantly impact a therapist’s and parent’s ability to stay attuned and present to the child. In this discussion\, from a Synergetic Play Therapy lens\, Lisa will discuss what it means and what it takes to become a child’s external regulator. \nLisa will be presenting this webinar as part of a three-part series moderated by Liana Lowenstein which includes a mix of theory and innovative child and play therapy techniques to address challenging clinical issues. \nSign up for the workshop here: https://corewellceu.com/event/live-tips-anger1/?shop=1057 \nOr for the entire series: https://corewellceu.com/livebundles/tips-live/?shop=1057

SUMMARY:CBCTAPT Workshop: Too Stressed To Play
DESCRIPTION:Therapists live each day on the front line in their work putting in countless hours helping children heal\, but let’s be honest- there are days when being fully present in the play room or online is not an easy task. Yes there are many moments in the play therapy process that are fun\, but the truth is that helping children integrate their pains and working with their parents can be hard work and taxing to therapists’s nervous systems. As play therapists\, we spend a lot of time learning about how to heal the children we work with\, but what about us? What happens when we are too stressed to play? \nThis interactive workshop will help guide therapists back to themselves. With the help of neuroscience\, therapists will learn how to identify their own states of dys-regulation beyond the common warning signs that many therapists are already familiar with. Therapists will not only learn what is happening in their own brains and nervous systems and how to regulate their bodies\, but will also be able to apply the information directly to their child clients resulting in a deeper healing process.

SUMMARY:Private Training for Teton Behavior Therapy: A Synergetic Approach to Revolutionizing Play & Therapeutic Practice with Children
DESCRIPTION:A Synergetic Approach to Revolutionizing Play & Therapeutic Practice with Children \nThis two day workshop is designed to help play therapists understand aggressive play from a neuro-biological perspective. With the help of neuroscience\, interpersonal neurobiology\, and a Synergetic Play Therapy framework rooted in Child-Centered\, Gestalt and Experiential Play Therapy theories\, therapists will learn how to effectively work with aggressive play in a way that supports nervous system regulation\, reorganization of the child’s lower centers of the brain and promote healing for the child.  Through role play\, discussion\, and experiential exercises participants will learn practical techniques that can be used right away in the playroom. Topics such as boundaries\, co-regulation\, nervous system activation\, emotional flooding and use of aggressive toys and play will be explored. \nThis workshop will also guide participants towards a deeper understanding of what it means to become a child’s external regulator during aggressive play while practicing how to care for their own nervous system thereby decreasing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.  The result is the transformation of aggression into ways of connecting\, healing and mutual trust. \nThis is a private training for Teton Behavior Therapy on 9/13 and 9/15.  \nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com
