Description

With Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on the rise globally, effective, engaging, evidence-informed trauma treatment for children and families has never been more urgently needed!

Come join Michelle Codington, LMFT, RPT-S, CFTP, expert in childhood trauma, as she unpacks her cutting-edge, attachment based, integrative play therapy model: TraumaPlay™. With an engaging, compassionate presence that helps clinicians feel felt through the screen, Michelle will dive into the nuts and bolts of treatment.

This components-based model demystifies play-based trauma treatment by outlining the scope and sequence of trauma specific work with children. Components covered will include:

  • Assessing a client’s current coping strategies and augmenting the adaptive ones
  • Soothing the child’s physiology
  • Physiology and inviting parents into the process
  • Increasing emotional literacy
  • Building a coherent trauma narrative to integrate somatosensory information
  • Addressing the child’s thought life (dealing with cognitive distortions)
  • Making positive meaning of the post-trauma self
