Its ALL About ME! Channeling the skills of Adlerian Play Therapy to Build, Boost, and Back Self Esteem

Course overview

Numerous children and adolescents identified as at-risk struggle with either low self-esteem or an unhealthy high self-esteem based on the ability to create feelings of inferiority in others (a.k.a. bullying behavior). We explore hands-on experiential play therapy activities based in Adlerian play therapy to provide children with a visual, auditory, and kinesthetic means for conceptualizing and developing a strong sense of self. Play therapy techniques based in the use of metaphors through bibliotherapy, expressive arts, and adventure therapy will be shared. Through the therapeutic powers of play, children develop a sense of grounding on which they can rely during times of struggle and challenge.
