    Innovative Integrations in Adult Sandtray

    Dates/times:
    May 22 & 23, 2020
    8:30 am - 6 pm (snacks provided; lunch on your own)


    Description:
    This unique sand therapy training opportunity brings three therapists together to present on three different topics all under one unifying theme. As an expressive therapy, sandtray offers clients the chance to integrate their inner resources and painfully-held memories in an effective and efficient manner. There are many ways to think about the term “integration” from considering nervous system implications to merging clinical perspectives with new modalities to offering specific populations their own methods for making meaning during heartache. This 2-day event will touch on all of these areas as sandtray for adult clients is taught with special consideration to intentionally bringing other arts into sand work for maximum brain benefit, conceptualizing sandtray work from an Internal Family Systems perspective, and applying trauma-informed sand work to clients in a perinatal season of life. Each of the different trainers will take the lead in their areas of expertise with time also given to group-led experientials and panel discussion.
    Sixteen CEs will be awarded at completion of the training.


    Objectives:
    1. Participants will discuss information from the relational neurosciences as it applies to sandtray therapy
    2. Participants will be able to describe the intentional use of sandtray techniques while considering general expressive therapies’ theory
    3. Participants will discuss case conceptualization tools using the expressive therapies continuum
    4. Participants will apply techniques related to art, music, and poetry to sandtray therapy
    5. Participants will learn how the 6 steps of the sandtray protocol complement the IFS model
    6. Participants will practice creative options for delivering IFS sandtray prompts with protectors
    7. Participants will learn to apply sandtray techniques in order to promote unblending part from Self
    8. Participants will explore their own parts using sandtray and IFS techniques
    9. Participants will learn a basic overview of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
    10. Participants will discuss the impact that trauma and loss have on perinatal mental health
    11. Participants will expand their awareness of multicultural considerations while using sandtray therapy with the perinatal population
    12. Participants will review specific case examples that show how perinatal trauma and loss themes appear in the tray
