This training is a week long hands-on training in which you will learn about SEPT and experience hands-on learning in real time play therapy sessions. Each therapist will engage in at least 6 live play therapy session with a child while the trainers are watching live and guiding responses through bug in the ear technology. The live sessions will be followed up by an additional hour in which we dive deeper into play based themes and metaphors, somatic tracking, and self of the therapist issues.

We also have opportunities for those who would prefer to not work with a child directly during the training and observe the 28 sessions others are participating in throughout the week.

This training focuses on developing SEPT skills including the ability to understand metaphor and the power of play for children as they process their pain and trauma. Skills in being able to identify fight/flight/freeze responses in a child’s body during play will also be addressed and implemented. Subscribe to email alerts.

This training is for those that have already trained in SEPT but want to hone their skills to go deeper into the play with the clients. The underlying tenets of SEPT play therapy will be expanded upon in this advanced training. Participants will deepen their abilities in understanding therapeutic metaphor, recognizing nervous system dysregulation in various forms along with implementing specific responses through play.

This advanced training also provides lots of opportunity to explore the self of the therapist issues holding you back in the playroom. We seek to create a safe environment to analyze where you, the therapist, get triggered or overwhelmed and support you in moving through whatever these issues may be. Lecture, video clips, handouts, and real time feedback during actual play therapy sessions will be used to facilitate the concepts of this advanced seminar.
