Who am I: Play & Talk Therapists using Sandtray & Focusing to Examine Culture, September 2020

$100.00

3 HOUR  Workshop: Sunday August 23, 2020 10:00AM-1:30PM–Limited to 5 participants

One 15 minute breaks will not be counted toward the 3 CEs awarded.

As our communities become more diverse, therapists need to be comfortable exploring our own culture and its effect of our work. The goal of this training is to use the modality of sandtray to create a safe space where participants are able to reflect on her or his own culture-defined as a “a broad multidimensional concept that includes ethnicity, race, gender, social class, sexual orientation and so on.”  The training is highly experiential:  each person will create an individual sandtray and discuss both the content and the process.  As a group we will engage in a conversation relating our own culture to our work as play and talk therapists.

5 Seats Available.
