Synergetic Play Therapy Webinars

A Neurobiological Approach to Using Play in Therapeutic Practice with Children

Lisa Dion is the creator of Synergetic Play Therapy, a model of play therapy that uses a neuroscientific framework and emphasises the critical role of the therapist. With the help of neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, and the Synergetic Play Therapy model, participants will explore in this series of 4 webinars how to effectively use a way of play therapy that supports nervous system regulation and reorganisation of the child’s lower centres of the brain.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to identify various nervous system states in their child clients and understand how to support regulation in the playroom. They will learn how to work with intense or aggressive play without causing their own nervous system to shut down or triggering vicarious trauma. Participants will gain further knowledge and skills on how to support their clients to maximise growth and integration of their experiences through Synergetic Play Therapy.

This training is suitable for clinicians working therapeutically with children and their families.

The Intro to SPT class is the best class I have ever taken. There is no better training for counsellors! I have a deeper understanding of the process and how to help children in the playroom.
