Description
Helping children learn how to regulate is essential in play therapy, but without first strengthening the child’s interoceptive sense, regulation may not be successful.
Without the development and strengthening of the interoceptive sense, a child may have regulation knowledge and tools but will not be able to read their own body cues to know when to use any of them. Examples such as knowing when to use the bathroom, when to take a deep breath, when to ask for help, the ability to read non-verbal cues, knowing when emotions are feeling overwhelming all rely on interoception.
Join Lisa Dion, LPC, RPT-S, international teacher, and creator of Synergetic Play Therapy in this playful workshop designed to help you learn what the interoceptive sense is and how to use play therapy to develop interoception in their child clients to set the stage for successful regulation and co-regulation. You'll have fun experientially exploring this fundamental part of the sensory system.
