This training is for mental health professionals and play therapists seeking a deeper understanding of how complex trauma impacts the emotional, relational, and neurological development of children and adolescents. We’ll examine the effects of early and chronic trauma on attachment, regulation, identity formation, and dissociative responses.

Participants will gain foundational knowledge in treating dissociation and using ego states work with young clients, alongside play therapy and body-based techniques that help kids feel more regulated and ready to process trauma. We’ll also explore how play therapy and expressive modalities can foster safety, expression, and integration in developmentally appropriate ways.

This training will also touch on including caregivers in the play therapy process. Clinicians will walk away with practical handouts, case examples, and concrete tools to begin using in their play therapy practice.
