Program Description
Beautiful Perry, Maine
This is an experientially-based workshop for individuals who have completed Moving Stories Level 1 training or the equivalent training. It will provide an in-depth study of how to use Moving Stories within a variety of theoretical play therapy orientations. Moving Stories play therapy skills of listening, joining and documenting the play will be practiced. The Moving Stories play therapy method is an intermodal expressive arts approach that integrates –story, sandtray and play therapy.
Therapeutic stories are told with the aid of a Moving Stories kit and a sandtray as the “theater”. Moving Stories kits are baskets or decorated boxes that contain miniatures/symbols that are used to tell the story. Individual clients, families, groups or classes from pre-school age to old age are then invited to reflect upon the stories followed by an invitation to respond in their own creative way. The method can be utilized by a wide range of theoretical orientations that permit some directive interaction on the part of the therapist. The workshop is designed to be both instructive and personally meaningful.
Participants
This workshop is designed for the helping professional (e.g. School Counselor, Social Worker, Psychologist, Licensed Professional Counselor) with some experience or interest in play therapy and sandtray therapy. The Moving Stories play therapy method is particularly useful for those working with children and in school systems. Skills will be applicable to individual, family, group and classroom contexts.
Objectives
- Participants will experience the power of play, sandtray and story through their own experience with the Moving Stories play therapy method.
- Participants will learn how to integrate the Moving Stories play therapy method within a range of play therapy theories.
- Participants will practice non-directive and directive play therapy skills needed in the Moving Stories play therapy method.
- Participants will practice selecting, presenting, joining, and documenting a Moving Story within a play therapy theory.
