Description

The course begins with three days together in community. Halfway through the course, we will reconvene for five additional days.  During the program (with the exception of December and January), the course will be conducted twice a month via live webinar. The Certification process includes six post-Intro or post-Intensive one-hour supervision sessions and nine one-hour supervision sessions with an SPT Supervisor (for a total of 15 hours). These sessions are designed to help you integrate and deepen your learning.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Describe how SPT supports the child in changing his perceptions of the perceived challenging events and thoughts in his life

  • Demonstrate how a play therapist can model self-regulation to the child during a play therapy session
  • Determine how the play therapist’s ability to use mindfulness to be congruent and authentic in her language and non-verbal signals allows the child to feel safe in the relationship
  • Identify the different states of dys-regulation and their corresponding symptoms as they arise in the playroom
  • Discuss how toys are used to help facilitate the relationship between the therapist and the child during a play therapy session
  • Explain how to support the child in getting in touch with her authentic self during the play therapy process
  • Describe how the synergy between the therapist’s authenticity, attunement, congruence, and nervous system regulation supports the child in learning how to attach to self, the cornerstone of all healing
