IFS is a mindful, self-compassionate way of understanding ourselves as humans. Expressive arts allows us to deepen our way of being and expressing ourselves in the world. IFS & EXA, when blended, provides a truly powerful somatic approach to personal and professional growth. This experiential workshop will introduce participants to a blended version of these two ways of working with ourselves through the use of music, mindfulness, movement, creative writing, and art.</span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyg54L9NP9P8qCGhdllwQP_dF8fkruJ5BEya-LcyI_JLyenMBwzxhYlPsUBsR0ELZs9-VhrMOSxA3VkGUvHB5rfnzlkk8aDvgq53E-BYIQumDzZLoBCQZT9_i6tX52-9KiO8XbDZQZoYMkeknrYesQ_oVPBbFnseCEcYj8PwcEv4MTgZsedVABcJWNTxF/s1973/BB341EA1-485B-45F7-9744-F01C08084FB5_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1973" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyg54L9NP9P8qCGhdllwQP_dF8fkruJ5BEya-LcyI_JLyenMBwzxhYlPsUBsR0ELZs9-VhrMOSxA3VkGUvHB5rfnzlkk8aDvgq53E-BYIQumDzZLoBCQZT9_i6tX52-9KiO8XbDZQZoYMkeknrYesQ_oVPBbFnseCEcYj8PwcEv4MTgZsedVABcJWNTxF/w542-h164/BB341EA1-485B-45F7-9744-F01C08084FB5_1_201_a.jpeg" width="542" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><span face=""helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif"><strong>Three Day Training in Body-Focused Expressive Arts Therapy for Traumatized Children and Adolescents</strong><br /><br /><strong>Carmen Richardson MSW, RSW, RCAT, REAT</strong></span></span><br /> </span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Overview:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong></span>This three day training will provide participants with a comprehensive framework for treating traumatized children & teens.

The structured framework helps to ensure a process that is safe, but it also provides the flexibility necessary for following the child’s creative processing and use of varied activities at a pace that is safe and tolerable.”<br /><br />William Steele, PsyD, MSW<br />Founder, The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children</span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);

This blended therapeutic approach provides clinicians with a truly heart-centered way of being with children and families who have experienced a range of life stresses and traumas. IFS & EXAT together create opportunities for meaningful repair of attachment injuries within the internal worlds of the child and caregiver and within the external family system. </span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">In this two day workshop we will explore key IFS concepts and processes, providing an introduction to the theoretical foundation of this modality. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice therapeutic interventions such as unblending, witnessing, and identifying and mapping parts through the use of dramatic enactment, visual art, and creative writing. Creatively exploring our own parts that naturally show up in the therapy space is an effective way to develop therapeutic skills that can be integrated into your child/youth practice immediately.</span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">We will further consider the experience of Self Energy, which, in IFS language, is our inherent healing resource that brings creativity, courage, compassion, calm and curiosity to ourselves and others. We will learn what Self Energy means within the therapy process, but also how we invite children/youth to experience and bring this healing energy to their most banished parts, truly creating an environment that is experienced as safe and welcoming to all parts of themselves.</span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1544" data-original-width="1160" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6itOK1C12O2Ixx_oxhxC0K5sJf_DvABMWaTLiS6QM0htYOUZbAc99cbWFc-gr4ArwTFWwzWtY0mfoKroIIanhoSGMIEI6N-WmWYzXbjJyiNS732e6eSQWqoKYPMcUFGocZnoyfniKdAuYOS9KMCjNBkrCiZC60pmLzKSzN0iiuMbi2Db7z31zzmVwUUJv/s320/44AB1855-C204-4DAF-904A-A46402F99506.jpeg" width="240" /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpOPMNytp6ldqgbrvoyNo6Q8MPxVOBVVb2KnVefRdtlYkNhMmP5jBUMS0EyhiIwYc8GTo3eiTPvbR3MnkZ-g9r9CX-cs3JB818KEWuleImpaOAYdGi8lT1QxZZvs03m9zvOlNbdUTAPYI-5QVgQAFq_MfZxijGRjjXvgtFowt7ByQRUPZ9EWWUXeqHMirU/s2016/D15D64F2-1168-43EC-92F3-779F81070018.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpOPMNytp6ldqgbrvoyNo6Q8MPxVOBVVb2KnVefRdtlYkNhMmP5jBUMS0EyhiIwYc8GTo3eiTPvbR3MnkZ-g9r9CX-cs3JB818KEWuleImpaOAYdGi8lT1QxZZvs03m9zvOlNbdUTAPYI-5QVgQAFq_MfZxijGRjjXvgtFowt7ByQRUPZ9EWWUXeqHMirU/s320/D15D64F2-1168-43EC-92F3-779F81070018.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="text-align: center; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>Studio Self Practice:</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>Integrating Expressive Arts and Internal Family Systems</b></span></span></div><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 12px;"><br style="text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Dates</strong><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">: March 29, April 26, May 24, June 21, 2024 </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Time:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">10:00 - 5:00</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Location:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">57 Bearspaw Summit Place</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Cost:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">$1000 on or before March 11, 2024 ($1200 after)</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Facilitator:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Carmen Richardson MSW, RSW, RCAT, REAT</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><b>Description:</b></span></span></div><div style="font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">This is a 4 day experiential Studio Practice of exploring Self & parts through the arts.

Each Friday will be a unique immersive creative experience into our inner world, done in connection & collaboration with others. </span></span></div><div style="font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">This Studio Practice is for those who are already on their own personal healing journey and have some knowledge of utilizing IFS as a personal therapeutic modality. It is also ideal for therapists who want a more somatic, embodied way of learning more about these two modalities. </span></span></div><div style="font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">Art experience is not required. Some knowledge of IFS processes is required. IFS resources will be provided to those who desire additional information. This is a closed 4 day, small group process one Friday per month from March - June. Please ensure you are able to attend all four days. </span></span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaJ-pNRxbSxPaLalvrEjZdupVj5IK4C2Z6wwePnpD1IyR4rEiapJ-h7J57VDPaeutaGVG9WDWsc0zFgoojjTDCTlLgwaD4MZLDynGUQCxiMluYa8f5BvySryXbSanxNm4hH3Wmen5PuULl7vBFUhwY0ysg7M2r9YXvwxPTM3pCxFOZffs0o39LxYFXeh31/s320/F47FB784-C50F-488D-9733-E7B5091E5D89_1_201_a.jpeg" width="240" /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIcOkfuNqo1IiGSmrOHBiu3OcSE2rg0Z8ZQNb-85nfUdXGD7N4Voy4AuG6KZUPhkJsT3zgAHh9HqBCpVoSwQWV9dhBUQeDJ1BPezPwKy-tC6JnlHKvHIIdGKaBo_y-6dG2od6wNJoNNXT-ML7wiHvN1gh2XLcLuVz7qtCOzg3bCS6PrQTsnGgI-wfU6hjx/s2016/62610E16-A68B-47B6-830E-448BC6182928_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIcOkfuNqo1IiGSmrOHBiu3OcSE2rg0Z8ZQNb-85nfUdXGD7N4Voy4AuG6KZUPhkJsT3zgAHh9HqBCpVoSwQWV9dhBUQeDJ1BPezPwKy-tC6JnlHKvHIIdGKaBo_y-6dG2od6wNJoNNXT-ML7wiHvN1gh2XLcLuVz7qtCOzg3bCS6PrQTsnGgI-wfU6hjx/s320/62610E16-A68B-47B6-830E-448BC6182928_1_201_a.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><span><br /></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="text-align: center; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></div></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="text-align: center; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>HeART to HeART:</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>One Day Expressive Arts Retreat</b></span></span></div><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 12px;"><br style="text-size-adjust: auto;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Date</strong><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">: June 1, 2024 </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Time:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">10:00 - 4:00</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Location:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">57 Bearspaw Summit Place</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Cost:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">$250 on or before May 1, 2024 ($300 after)</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);" /><strong style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Facilitator:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);">Carmen Richardson MSW, RSW, RCAT, REAT</span></span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(234, 91, 58);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><b>Description:</b></span></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(101, 101, 101); font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">This is an invitation to either reconnect with your love for the arts or be introduced to expressive arts processes.

The presentations will focus on benefits, approaches, methods, and interventions in trauma work, restoring well-being, and promoting social justice and inclusiveness in community work. We strive to keep this conference accessible to everyone having internet access. Therefore, this will be a free event during the conference dates (and paid for those who want to have the videos available for one year and to watch them at their own pace). We are glad to partner for this free event with Concordia University Art Hives and engAGE Living Lab, Montreal, Canada.</b></p>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09731039939617086260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297584145394429689.post-36974658719249392462022-08-21T18:27:00.000-07:002022-08-21T18:27:22.944-07:00<p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

PAUSE is an invitation to return to the home within yourself, to take stalk, to create space for inner listening...an experience facilitated with the healing arts. Carmen uses an Internal Family Systems framework guided by simple intermodal expressive art invitations. In a small group format, we will create a brave space and container to reconnect with ourselves and our inner journey in the company of others.

The structured framework helps to ensure a process that is safe, but it also provides the flexibility necessary for following the child’s creative processing and use of varied activities at a pace that is safe and tolerable.”</span><br />

Training Program Changes 2020 - 2021</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Please note that there have been many changes to the training programs due to the impact of the pandemic on gatherings of all kinds. Change. And so, we have made changes. The current Level One Certificate will be completed on-line. The remainder of programs will be postponed until 2021. Going with the flow of change has not been without grief and challenges. Change invited me to hold close the following words by Danna Faulds in her poem,<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thiZK-OvO-U/XsCTvTMBe0I/AAAAAAAAAX4/sv81dDHZViI8yGAEgvuB6O4bD9Jz9q_qwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/5DAE8756-7890-4BC2-8714-FB0280D981E9_1_105_c.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thiZK-OvO-U/XsCTvTMBe0I/AAAAAAAAAX4/sv81dDHZViI8yGAEgvuB6O4bD9Jz9q_qwCK4BGAYYCw/s320/5DAE8756-7890-4BC2-8714-FB0280D981E9_1_105_c.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>ALLOW</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no controlling life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Try corralling a lightning bolt,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
containing a tornado. Dam a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stream, and it will create a new</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
channel. Resist, and the tide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will sweep you off your feet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allow, and grace will carry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you to higher ground. The only</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
safety lies in letting it all in—</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the wild with the weak; fear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fantasies, failures and success.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When loss rips off the doors of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the heart, or sadness veils your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
vision with despair, practice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
becomes simply bearing the truth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the choice to let go of your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
known way of being, the whole</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
world is revealed to your new eyes.</div>

<span style="color: #bf9000;">Come join Marja for this one day refresher/introductory workshop in dance movement therapy. Whether you are looking to refresh your skills or this is your first taste of dance movement therapy, you are welcome!</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>The primary goal </b>of the day is to experience for yourself, how to apply dance/movement with different client groups. The day is based on the idea of a creative movement cycle: beginning from a range of warm ups, witnessing movement qualities, choosing suitable themes and finding a shared ending for your own sessions. The day will empower you to tune into each person’s unique choreography and how the creative movement process can be applied in the context of an Expressive Arts practice. </span><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: large;">Prairie Institute of Expressive Arts Therapy</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">was born in 2008 in response to the need for expressive arts training for both therapists and facilitators of expressive arts. We have offered over 26 Level 1 & 2 programs in the past 12 years. It has been such an honour to be able to have worked with</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">passionate local trainers</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">who have brought their expertise to our programs. We have had students attend our programs from across Canada, the USA, and abroad, including Hong Kong and Egypt. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">This program has been for me a dream come true. To be able to design a training program from a framework that I believe whole heartedly in. The arts bring a richness to the healing world that is unique and powerful. And yes, one must experience it personally to "know" the power of this kind of healing process. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">The year 2020 brings many changes. One of the main changes is that 2020 will be the final year that the Level 1 & 2 programs will be offered. There is still space in the programs at this time. You can contact me directly if you have any questions about the programs. </span><a data-cke-saved-href="mailto:carmenr@telusplanet.net" href="mailto:carmenr@telusplanet.net" style="font-size: medium;" target="_blank">carmenr@telusplanet.net</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">There will continue to be offerings made from Prairie Institute, so do stay tuned to see the "unfurling" of new and exciting trainings, workshops & retreats. </span><br /><br /><em><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you trainers</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span></em><span style="font-size: small;">for bringing your best to the students over these years: Marilyn Magnuson, Jennifer Buchanan, Marja Cantell, Connie Allcock, Karen Daniels, Dara Dines, Rosann Whale, Andrea Halwas, and Mallory Minerson.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><em>Thank you students</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">for saying yes to your call to the expressive arts path and trusting Prairie Institute for your learning. Thank you for filling our spaces with images, sounds, poems, and embodied creative works of all kinds! </span><br /><br /><em><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to all the graduates of Level 1 & 2</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span></em><span style="font-size: small;">for bringing the message and spirit of the arts out to your communities. I have been deeply moved and inspired by the witnessing of the gifts that each student has brought to our trainings. These I will miss most: the heart to heart connections that are cultivated over the course of the training; the witnessing of the deepening belief in their gifts; and the "showing up with love". </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">One of PIEAT's trainers (thank you Rosann) sent me this following poem,</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><em style="font-size: medium;">Continue</em><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">by Maya Angelou, in response to learning the news of closing the Level 1 & 2.

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Overview: </b>This three day training will provide participants with a comprehensive framework for treating traumatized children & teens. This four- phase, resource-oriented model is grounded in attachment theory, the psychophysiology of trauma, CBT, and expressive arts therapy. It is based on Carmen’s book, “Expressive Arts Therapy for Traumatized Children and Adolescents: A Four-Phase Model”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Training Objectives: </b>To provide a practical, structured framework that guides assessment & treatment processes. To learn structured, arts-based, sensory interventions to effectively treat key trauma reactions and promote self-regulation. To increase clinical skills such as working with a resource-oriented lens, tracking client sensory processes, & working with the body, art & relationship.</span><br />

The structured framework helps to ensure a process that is safe, but it also provides the flexibility necessary for following the child’s creative processing and use of varied activities at a pace that is safe and tolerable.”</span><br />

The structured framework helps to ensure a process that is safe, but it also provides the flexibility necessary for following the child’s creative processing and use of varied activities at a pace that is safe and tolerable.”</b></span></span></div>

Every aspect of the program is intentional as all activities tie into well thought out learning objectives. The immersion experience is itself both challenging and enriching as it allows for the learning to be layered and deepened by moving from theory to experience as we develop more fully our roles as therapists and facilitators. </span></span></div>
