Fears! We all have them. They're built into our psychology, influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and profoundly shape our lives - often taking no prisoners. In this transformative workshop, you will learn how to navigate and overcome these fears, giving you ways to break free from the paralyzing grip they can have when pursuing your highest goals or ambitions, and also with just moving through your daily life. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the neurobiology of fear, including the role of the amygdala in fear processing - a game changer when supporting your clients to work through their fears or gaining traction toward your personal or professional goals. Whether you're seeking to overcome specific phobias or simply want to understand the psychological mechanisms at play, this workshop will give you both theoretical and practical insights and skills, and teach you perhaps the most valuable lesson of life - How to turn your fears into a catalyst for action and growth! Don't let fear hold you back any longer! Reserve your spot today, and begin your journey of understanding and empowerment! *If you are attending live, select the "Live Event" option from the dropdown menu below. *If you are unable to attend live, select the "Home Study" option from the dropdown menu below.

Take a moment to reflect on the growth you’ve witnessed since starting the introductory course. How have your clients evolved? How have your therapy sessions changed? Most importantly, how have you changed? Your growth is the key to unlocking your clients’ full potential for transformation. During the introductory course, you've merely scratched the surface of what's possible for client healing and transformation. Imagine delving deeper into a wealth of knowledge and skills with 85 hours of content (plus 13 hours of consultation!). This is precisely what awaits you in our 10-month SPT Certification program, designed to empower you as a therapist or other professional!

Join us for an opportunity to go back to the basics (and meet full Recertification requirements for your Certified Synergetic Play Therapist or Certified Synergetic Play Provider credential!)
Registration deadline is June 17th, 2024, 12pm Mountain Time, Denver
Renewal of the Certified Synergetic Play Therapist or Certified Synergetic Play Provider credential is required every 3 years. In order to renew, students must earn at least 18 hours of CE credits specific to Synergetic Play Therapy. Excess hours may not be rolled over into the next 3 year cycle. If CE credits are not submitted, students will no longer be able to use the title Certified Synergetic Play Therapist or Certified Synergetic Play Provider until renewal occurs. This course meets the full requirement of renewing your Certified Synergetic Play Therapist or Certified Synergetic Play Provider credential. During the Online Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy® Recertification program, you will have the opportunity to go back to the foundational understandings and tenets of Synergetic Play Therapy. Likely the first time you took your Level 1 Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy program (whether it was this course or an intensive), you spent the majority of your time trying to orient towards a new way of being in the playroom while grabbing ahold of some of the details of the Synergetic Play Therapy philosophy. This is why it is so important to go back to the basics every few years (and the information gets updated too!) and now you have the opportunity to do so and fill in the missing details in your understanding and to also confirm what you have fully integrated! Plus this Intro program has undergone some amazing changes in 2023 with new/updated content and teachings. Learn more about the changes here! “SPT is the missing piece in play therapy.
