Enter the Metaphorical Journey:
|
Inquiry Skills for Therapists
|
Dr. Lorri Yasenik, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-STM
|
Live Online Training Dates: 30th March & 6th April 2023 Fee: €120
|
Join Dr. Lorri Yasenik from the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute (Canada) and the International Centre for Children and Family Law (Australia) to explore the importance of inquiry skills in the therapy context.
|
This six-hour master class, delivered in two 3-hour live online sessions, is ideal training for therapists, and other mental health professionals, who use expressive arts, projective activities and/or sandplay with their clients. Inquiry is an essential skill for practitioners who work with various metaphors represented in art, clay, sand and other materials. This creative therapy training program will introduce the therapist to an array of questions that may be utilized when engaging with children, youth and adults during an exploration phase of an expressive-based activity. Through the inquiry skills training, therapists will be encouraged to “stay out of the way” of interpretation and instead assist the client to explore their scene or product while remaining in the metaphor. Course participants will have the opportunity to create their own expressive product(s) and work with a partner to practice a number of inquiries. In pairs and small groups, participants will explore the power of assisting clients to journey through their personal expressions. Participants will also learn how to weave from one part of an art product or sand scene to another. All participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
