Each part designed to stand independently. Grief and loss is what brings someone to counseling. COVID has increased and triggered a grief response for many. The necessity of Play Therapy as part of grief work will be reviewed.  Specific Play Therapy interventions as well as real-life examples will be rehearsed and shared. Through slides, examples and experiential participation, participants will learn the value of creativity and Play Therapy interventions in grief work. Using research based information supporting play therapy’s creative and playful interventions, participants will explore using art, journaling, music, books, media and games to facilitate grieving. Examples of famous works of art in response to grief and personal creative products will be shared as examples. Therapists often struggle working with grief with only a talk therapy mindset. Adding creative Play Therapy interventions allows clients to integrate both brain hemispheres, lessons defenses, increases serotonin and leads to healing.
