Understanding Trauma in the Playroom
From a Neuro-Bio Perspective
Trauma in the playroom can have a dark, heavy feel to it. Even the most experienced Play Therapists can sometimes feel overwhelmed or helpless themselves.
Explore a "Bottom Up" approach to trauma in play therapy from a neuro-bio perspective. Explore the left and right hemispheres and lower and upper brains. Explain why CCPT helps trauma heal and what activities serve which part of the brain during a play therapy session.
Feel empowered as a play therapist because you finally understand the why, what and when of a trauma play therapy session.
