This 3 day pre-recorded webinar will provide a compassionate understanding of the experiences and needs of children who have suffered the temporary, recurring, or permanent loss of a primary caregiver. Participants will explore a wide variety of nature and animal assisted expressive therapies that are used to soothe and strengthen grieving children as well as to help them express and transform their painful feelings.
Topics will include the crucial role of attachment, the effects of loss of a primary attachment on the child’s emotional well being, and the impact of unresolved grief on the child’s ability to form satisfying relationships. We will also discuss the stages of the grieving process and its healing function, and how children suffering from complicated grief have used expressive play therapy methods during the course of their transformational journey.
Participants will have the opportunity to witness a practical application of Holistic Expressive Play Therapy principles through viewing multiple case examples and will experience the image making process – using metaphors, visualizations, art, assemblage, sewing, and storytelling – as related to the topic of loss.
