SUMMARY:ADVANCED TRAINING: Synergetic Play Therapy and EMDR
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nWould you like to learn a model of therapy\, supported by brain research that supports EMDR therapy with children? Would you love to have a solid understanding of how to seamlessly bring in both therapies to address and resolve deeply held trauma? In this workshop\, therapists will have a one of kind experience exploring the basic components of play therapy from a neurobiology perspective as they get introduced to Synergetic Play Therapy and learn how it applies to the EMDR process with children. Through didactic and experiential teachings\, participants will learn cutting-edge research on neural anatomy\, mindfulness\, attachment theory and brain development as the research is translated into practical ways of working with children and parents. Participants will gain an understanding of the Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP) in EMDR as it relates to Synergetic Play Therapy. \nAbout the Training… \nParticipants will also learn what it means to attach to one’s self as the cornerstone for all healing\, the importance of congruent emotional expression in the play room\, how to identify types of dysregulation in the playroom\, how to model regulating activities to the client\, how to talk to and involve parents and ultimately how to re-pattern a child’s nervous system through the play therapy process. Aggressive play will also be covered from the perspective of nervous system regulation\, attunement\, and mindfulness. Finally\, participants will also learn how to track a client’s changes in a simple\, yet comprehensive way. \nThis is a three-day workshop with group consultation for four months following (Group consultation is 3-4 people per group for either 1.5 or 2 hours depending on how many participants). \nLocation: Play Therapy Institute of Colorado \nCost: $675.00 or $435.00 for SPT Trained Therapists (includes credits) \nCredits: 18 Contact Hours \nDates: Feburary 8-10 \nSchedule: \n\n9:00a.m.-Noon\nNoon-1:30p.m. lunch\n1:30p.m.-4:30p.m.\n\nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand the link between a child’s dysregulated states of their nervous system and their play;\nUnderstand the significance of authenticity and authentic expression in the play therapy process;\nUnderstand how our own “windows of tolerance” can impact the healing process;\nIllustrate an understanding of the neurobiology of co-regulation as related to EMDR therapy and working with children in play therapy;\nLearn how to keep yourself regulated in the midst of intense play/trauma play and while facilitating EMDR in the playroom;\nBe able to describe the stages that a child moves through in Synergetic Play Therapy;\nBe able to describe the importance of attachment to one’s self and mindfulness in a play therapy process;\nLearn how to track a child’s progress in the play therapy process;\nDiscuss at least two considerations about why and when you would modify the standard EMDR protocol and how this would impact other phases of treatment in the play therapy process;\nLearn how to integrate EMDR into a non-directive play therapy process;\nDiscuss at least two considerations for when you would use a directive EMDR approach versus a non-directive EMDR approach with a child.\n\nWorkshop Requirements: \nCompletion of EMDRIA approved EMDR Basic Training\, and clinical work experience using play therapy with children. \nWorkshop Presenters: \nLisa Dion\, LPC\, RPT-S\, is an innovative and inspiring teacher and pioneer in play therapy.

SUMMARY:The Neurobiology of Parenting
DESCRIPTION:Did you know when your child acts out their most problematic moods and behaviors\, that’s actually their incredibly wise way of communicating with you in their lives? In this course\, Lisa Dion\, licensed professional counselor and registered play therapist\, will teach you how to use the insights of modern neuroscience to better understand and shape your children’s moods and behaviors\, while developing their brains!  You will learn what it takes to truly raise children that are not only successful in life\, but thrive. You will also learn how to understand what is happening in the minds and bodies of your children and what it takes to maximize their brain and emotional development and in yourself! \nTopics include:\n1.     Why understanding your child’s nervous system will help you be a better parent.\n2.     Powerful techniques to understand tantrums and misbehavior.\n3.     The ability to clearly understand what your child is trying to communicate when they are misbehaving.\n4.     Techniques for helping your child manage their own nervous system and reduce problematic behaviors.\n5.     Easy to implement strategies to make you a more effective and attuned parent.\n6.     Powerful experiential exercises to help you deal with the challenges of parenting.\n7.     How to identify what is most important to your child and how to understand where they will be most successful in life\n8.     Understanding anxiety\, depression\, addictions\, and other emotional struggles in children and how you can support them as the parent \nIn this course\, Lisa makes the growing field of neuroscience accessible and relevant to parents of all backgrounds. This course caters to both experienced and new parents\, and will help parents manage toddler tantrums\, teenagers getting in trouble\, or just the everyday stresses of parenting. Parents will leave with this course with a powerful new perspective on parenting. \nHow is this course different than other parenting courses?\nThis course focuses on the role of Neurobiology and is thus scientifically-backed. Many parenting classes and books have not yet integrated this new and extremely important research. Lisa Dion\, a licensed counselor and extremely skilled presenter\, simplifies this research into easy to implement parenting tips and techniques. \nCheck out this video for more information.
