Sandtray Therapy and Trauma Treatment with Children and Adolescents
Presenter: Robert Aikin, LICSW
Date: April 25, 2012
Time: 9:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.
Location: The Trauma Center, 1269 Beacon Street, Boston, MA
This workshop will introduce clinicians to the use of sand tray therapy in trauma processing with children and adolescents. Using lecture, slides of actual sand trays, and experiential exercises, participants will become familiar with the history of sand tray therapy, its application for trauma treatment and its use in trauma processing. Participants will develop the skills to process sand trays through examining sand tray worlds created by children who experienced complex trauma, and by processing these trays. An experiential exercise will provide participants with the opportunity to role play and create group sand trays.
Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART): Bottom-up Interventions for Childhood Trauma
Presenter: Elizabeth Warner, Ph.D. & SMART Program Colleagues
Date: March 22-23, 2012
Time: 9:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.
Location: 1019 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA
Clinicians working with children who have experienced complex trauma and neglect often find themselves struggling to address powerful swings in emotion, dissociation, behavioral outbursts, withdrawn numbness, and impenetrable avoidance. In these cases, verbal interventions fall short of addressing the profound dysregulation the child experiences. In this training you will learn a paradigm for recognizing and understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of this dysregulation. Within this framework, you will see and learn interventions and skills aimed at addressing the sensory motor dysregulation at the body level.
The Power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) for Trauma
Presenter: Frank Guastella Anderson, M.D.
Date: May 10-11, 2012
Time: 9:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.
Location: 1019 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is one of the most rapidly growing therapies available today for the treatment of trauma. It is an integrative approach to individual psychotherapy that was developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. and is currently being used across the United States as well as in several countries in Europe. The IFS model views each individual as being made up of various “parts” or subpersonalities; through accessing self energy, the burdens the parts carry for the system can be healed.
This 2-day workshop offers a solid introduction to the model and how it can be applied to clinical practice. We will look at the ways IFS affects the brain and explore the connections between psychology and biology that allow new pathways to form and change to occur. The workshop will include guided meditations, live demonstrations, and experiential practice groups where participants will take on the role of the therapist as well as the client. It will also include videotaped sessions of founder Richard Schwartz’s work to illustrate the approach. In particular, participants will develop an understanding of how this model can be used in clinical practice with trauma survivors.
