    Making room at the table: 
    ​Using sandtray-based play therapy to safely recognize and care for dissociative parts

    Date: Feb 1-3, 2024

    Time: 9 am - 4:45 pm (all days-Central time)

    Hours: 18 education hours can be earned for attending this training as consistent with Texas Board requirements. 18 contact APT education hours will be awarded after successful completion. This event is sponsored by Marshall Lyles, APT Approved Provider 17-508. 

    Description: Dissociation is a misunderstood and mistreated protector as clinicians are often taught to fear this nervous system adaptation. While dissociation does require special care, clients deserve to have these parts of self to be welcomed into their therapeutic work. Sandtray-based play therapy, when handled carefully, can be utilized in learning to recognize dissociative pockets in clients of all ages and provide these states the messages of support they deserve. This workshop will explore these concepts through lecture, case examples, group discussion, and experiential activities.

    Learning objectives:
    1. Discuss dissociation from a nervous system point-of-view using anti-ableist language
    2. Describe the various other protective states engaged by body and mind when under threat
    3. Discuss methods of assessing for dissociation in play-based clinical interviews
    4. Explain the basic tenets of sandtray-based play therapy
    5. Describe sandtray and play therapy adaptations when working with complex trauma
    6. Discuss sandtray/play therapy client behaviors that can reveal pockets of dissociation
    7. Describe ways to use the sand tray for psychoeducation about dissociation during play therapy
    8. Discuss ways for effectively working with spontaneous emergence of dissociation during sandtray-based play therapy sessions
