Program Description
Designed for the mental healthcare professional, this is an experientially-based workshop that introduces the Moving Stories play therapy method. The Moving Stories play therapy method is an intermodal expressive arts method 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.
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, sandtray therapy and bibliotherapy. 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
1. After the session, participants will have had a personal experience of the Moving Stories play therapy method.
2. After the session, participants will know the steps of the Moving Stories play therapy method.
3. After the session, participants will know how Moving Stories might be used in individual, group, family and classroom play therapy contexts.
4. After the session, participants will know how to set-up a special kind of play therapy room for Moving Stories—the “Wonder Room”.
