Through the lens of principles from Synergetic Play Therapy®, therapists are taught how to integrate the intensity experienced by both the child and the therapist during aggressive play in a way that leads towards greater healing and integration. The book explains the neurological processes that lead kids to dysregulation and provides therapists with tools to help their clients facilitate deep emotional healing, without causing their own nervous system to shut down. Chapter Topics Include:
- Aggression in the Playroom and Making Aggressive Play Therapeutic
- Understanding the Nervous System
- What Regulation Really Means
- Developing Yourself as the External Regulator
- The Set-Up in Play Therapy
- Authentic Expression
- Setting Boundaries
- Working with Emotional Flooding

Congratulations on your Acceptance into the Becoming a Synergetic Play Therapy® Supervisor Course!
Please use this product to begin your 3-month payment plan and complete your registration for the Becoming a Synergetic Play Therapy® Supervisor Course. The deadline to register for this course is September 21, 2023, 12pm Mountain Time (Denver). Your registration will not be considered complete until payment is received. Please see below for all course details including important class dates/times, your instructor(s) information, and Cancellation policies! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact info@synergeticplaytherapy.com.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 SPT. 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 your Online Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy® course, you will have the opportunity to go back to the foundational understandings and tenets of SPT. Likely the first time you took your introduction to SPT course (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 SPT 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! "SPT is the missing piece in play therapy. I gained an understanding of who I am in the playroom - a humanness that wasn't there before." -Frances Donohue Renewal Program Requirements:- Attend and take notes at all 4 webinars
