Attachment Reimagined: Understanding Attachment and Emotional Development Through a Synergetic Play Therapy Lens

This one-hour home study course explores attachment through the lens of Synergetic Play Therapy, expanding the traditional understanding of attachment beyond the bond between child and caregiver to include how individuals relate to themselves during moments of stress, emotion, and connection.

Participants will explore how attachment patterns develop as adaptive protective strategies, how these patterns continue to shape experiences across the lifespan, and why emotional age may differ from chronological age.

Why Add SPT to Your Practice?

  • “I personally took a lot out of this [program], not all of it was new, but what was new was extremely useful and impactful. What wasn’t new was an excellent reminder to go back to my roots of attachment and emotional work when working with children just like I have worked with youth and adults over the years but in a slightly different context. My entire team has felt the positive impact of this training on our work and we are very happy that we all did it at the same time. We will be able to continue to practice it together and that is very exciting.”

I know this was only the tip of the iceberg into integrating these powerful concepts, and I’m so hooked, I’ve already signed up for certification to continue my journey!”

    Jessie Brockmeier
  • “It’s been over 2 years since I took the Synergetic Play Therapy [program]. One of the best choices I’ve ever made. The magnitude of deeply attuning with our clients…and ourselves…is immeasurable!”
