Description
Are your clients having anger outbursts, meltdowns, crying spells or long, intense moments of hyperactive joy? This is dysregulation, and it doesn’t feel good!
Join Tracy Turner-Bumberry, LPC, RPT-S, in this recording as she teaches you art, movement and play therapy interventions to help regulate clients with Autism, ADHD, Bipolar and Anxiety. You will practice techniques during this recording to experience for yourself how to achieve calm, cool, and relaxed children and adolescents. Leave this recording armed with a tool kit of Play Therapy interventions to reduce meltdowns, mood swings, anger outbursts and create sustained emotion regulation.
You will learn how play is a therapeutic and natural way for children who have limited verbal skills to express their needs and frustrations.
Play allows children to:
- Experience and express emotion
- Become more responsible for behaviors and develop more successful strategies
- Develop new and creative solutions to problems
- Reduce fear, anxiety and depression
As the great philosopher Plato says, “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”
