Description:

Join this interactive workshop, where we will take a deep dive into the practice of self-care and self-compassion for the play therapist. Play therapist’s are able to offer deep compassion to clients; however, self compassion can be much more difficult to practice for ourselves. Come join us to understand the importance of mindfulness self compassion and learn how to integrate it as part of the play therapist self care. This workshop will explore self care and self compassion activities through creative expression, guided mindfulness self compassion meditation, and Focusing. Developed by Eugene Gendlin, Focusing is a mind/body practice which will help the play therapist connect to the space within called the felt sense. The play therapist will create their own action plan to help integrate their self care / self compassion practice. A list of materials needed will be emailed to the play therapist before the workshop.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand signs of burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma for the play therapist.
  2. Demonstrate six creative interventions for the play therapist self care / self compassion practice.
  3. The play therapist to develop a personalized self care action plan.
