Course overview

Supervisors hold the enormous responsibility of guiding, nurturing, and gatekeeping the development of the next generation of play therapists. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of support and training for this vital work! Reflective Play Therapy Supervision (RFPTS) is a developmental model designed to support both new and experienced play therapy supervisors and their supervisory relationships at every level. In this session, you'll learn to use the therapeutic and neuroscientific foundations of play therapy to deepen supervisees' understanding of and intervention with intense cases. You'll integrate reflective play therapy principles, including parallel process and self-of-the-therapist work, to teach clinical problem-solving and prevent burnout and depletion. Walk away with a practical, playful framework to assess the developmental needs and clinical skills of your supervisees and a toolbox full of interventions and strategies to promote excellence in play therapy practice!
