Integrating EMDR and Play Therapy

Virtual Event Virtual Event

January 20, 2023 @ 9:00 AM 4:30 PM

You have completed your EMDR trainings, and curious about how Child Centered Play Therapy and EMDR work together? This training covers how Play Therapists who have completed both levels of EDMR integrate the two therapy approaches to facilitate growth and healing.

Description of Integrating Play Therapy and EMDR

EMDR, eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a powerful, evidence-based integrative therapy developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro.  Play Therapy is a modality utilized to engage children and adolescents requiring creativity, playfulness and understanding of the therapeutic powers of play.  Integrating Play Therapy and EMDR can be a powerful mechanism in helping children and adolescents recover from “big T” traumas, “little t” traumas and other stressful life events.  With child-centered play therapy and sand tray therapy modalities, participants learn how to navigate history taking, resourcing and desensitization and reprocessing with creative and playful interventions.  This training will also provide guidance on childhood diagnosis, conceptualization, treatment planning, parent and guardian involvement, ethics and confidentiality.

This program is designed as an advanced workshop, and intended for those practitioners who have completed both Levels of EMDR Basic Training.

This program meets the APT definition of Live Webinar. You will be required to take a post-test to obtain credit.
