    Date: July 15-16, 2019
    Time (Central):     5:30 pm    Check-in
    6 pm - 8 pm     Training
    Hours: 4 APT contact education hour can be earned for attending this event at The Workshop.
    Description: Play therapy prominently features the art of reflecting. In fact, it may be the therapy skill most associated with the craft. However, we can become so accustomed to the language of reflecting that we can lose contact with its intent. This training will look at the skill of reflecting through the lens of the attachment theory concept of reflective functioning. The examples given for honoring this intersection will feature use of the sand tray.
    Learning objectives:
    1. Describe the components of different play therapy reflecting skills
    2. Explain how to offer play therapy reflections with reflective functioning in mind
    3. Apply the newly-considered reflection skills to the play therapy modality of sand tray
    4. Practice the use of reflective functioning skills in a mock sandtray-based play therapy session

    The training will occur at The Workshop, 300 Allen St., Austin, TX, 78702
