Description
Child-Centered Play Therapy and Attachment Trauma
With Amber-Lea Martinez, PhD, LPC-Associate
Attachment trauma—or traumatic separation from primary caregivers—can result in deep-seated relational wounds for the children impacted. Children who have experienced attachment trauma often present with a wide array of unique clinical needs, including concerns related to inconsistent caregivers, attachment difficulties, and layered traumatic experiences. In this workshop, participants will explore the unique match between attachment trauma and child-centered play therapy, discuss CCPT adaptations and considerations, and reflect upon their role as a CCPT therapist when working with this population.
Objectives:
- Participants will identify at least 3 common challenges faced by children experiencing attachment trauma.
- Participants will demonstrate CCPT skills and attitudes.
- Participants will describe how the CCPT therapist can serve as an attachment figure.
- Participants will identify at least 2 ways that attachment trauma may show up in the play therapy space.
- Participants will articulate at least 3 clinical applications of CCPT when working with children experiencing attachment trauma.
- Participants will identify at least 2 ways to support caregivers of children who have experienced attachment trauma.
