When kids experience trauma or other negative life events such as abuse, neglect, bullying, racism, violence, or educational difficulties, they often hold powerful negative beliefs about themselves, such as “I’m broken”, “I’m unlovable”, or “It was my fault”.
As a therapist, you know that play is a child’s natural language for expressing emotions, processing experiences, and resolving internal conflict.

Through expert explanation and demonstration, Carmen will teach you how to integrate these two powerful therapy methods so you can help young clients:
