Children’s Therapy Centre – Two Day Online Training Event

Dates: 30th and 31st May Course Times: 2pm-5:30pm (Ireland) Fee: €150

This innovative course facilitated by Paris Goodyear-Brown will synthesize the current research and literature on treating anxiety disorders into a developmentally sensitive play therapy approach. Fighting our fear can be difficult, especially for children who may need to externalize the fear, who literally need to put a face on it, in order to begin mastering it. Participants will learn dozens of techniques to help children articulate their worries, interventions that aid in relaxation and stress management, and strategies for including parents as partners in the process. Clinicians will learn play-based interventions that help craft "boss back" talk and counter cognitive distortions. Playful tools for designing and tracking gradual exposures will also be covered. Specific play therapy techniques will be augmented by detailed case examples, video clips, slides of children’s completed therapeutic creations and experiential learning.
|
After the sessions, participants will be able to:
|
- Describe the role that avoidance plays in anxiety disorders
- Name three play therapy stress inoculation techniques.
- Describe the role that parents play in helping children with their anxiety.
- List 5 play therapy interventions that help clients identify & restructure anxiety-based cognitive distortions.
- Explain how a play-based exposure/response prevention treatment plan can be adapted for different anxiety disorders
- List three playful tools for tracking exposures
- List three metaphors that can be used to describe how anxiety grows and how it can be reduced

A child development expert, she frequently provides parent consultation, dyadic assessment and parent coaching to help parents manage and resolve their children’s behavior problems.

For the whole of her career, she has carried a vision of a place – a home – in which the space itself would help children and parents feel safe, nurtured and ready to do the deep work of healing. Although it looks like a playhouse – and her child clients call it “the kid’s palace” - the fun, highly playful environment helps the hard stuff go down easier.
