LAST CHANCE!

Register before June 30 to receive $100 off! ($250 CAD + GST)

Join us and stay “out of the way” of inadvertently leading and deciding what an expressive product “means”. Until the client tells you what it means – you will not understand the material in front of you.

This 6-hour masterclass is for Play Therapy practitioners who use expressive arts, projective activities and sandplay with their clients. Inquiry is an essential skill for practitioners who work with various metaphors represented in art, clay, sand and other materials. This play therapy training program will introduce the play therapist to an array of questions that may be utilized when engaging with children, youth and adults during an exploration phase of an expressive-based activity. Through inquiry skills training, therapists will be encouraged to “stay out of the way” of interpretation and instead assist the client in exploring their scene or product while remaining in the metaphor.

The Play Therapy world has experienced a great loss with the passing of Garry Landreth. I can’t think of any play therapist who hasn’t been influenced by Garry’s unyielding belief in children and the power of their inner wisdom. He influenced us to “get out of the way” and allow the child to lead. It’s important to never forget our great seminal teachers and from where you know what you know.
