DBT Play Therapy

Description

Integrating Dialectical Behavioural Concepts into your play therapy practice – DBPT 6 Continuing Education Credits 

 

We can both accept ourselves for who we are while also accepting that change needs to happen (Linehan, 2015,p.5).

Adolescent and Adult clients can. utilize the sandtray as well as expressive modalities to communicate these dialectic realities while creating.a personal road map for change. This full day (6 hour) workshop will briefly review the treatment phases of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy while utilizing play therapy approaches to support DBT treatment.

Participants are expected to have taken prior DBT Training as this course does not certify participants in DBT or Marsha Linehan’s method.

Review DBT skills that can be integrated in individual or group therapy

Identify how the modules of  mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation and distress tolerance can be integrated into their Play Therapy practice with sandtray, art based interventions, bibliotherapy, music, movement, affirmation cards and game play.

Identify resources or activities for  DBPT they would like to further develop in order to continue to integrate DBT interventions formally or informally in Play Therapy.
