Finding Hope in the Darkness: Healing Attachment Trauma through Sandplay and EMDR Shannon Yockey, LCSW, ISST/CST (Ft. Collins, CO) Sponsor: Lorraine Freedle, PhD, ABPdN, ISST/CST-T (Hilo, Hawaii) Working with our most traumatized and resistant child clients poses unique play therapy challenges in holding and containing the “free and protected” space. These children often resist any attempts at relationships and put up barriers in the therapeutic process out of fear and mistrust. We may doubt, feel lost, and wonder if we can make a difference at all. We will explore the harmful impacts of attachment trauma on the child’s developing sense of self and learn strategies to foster trust. We will gain insight into our negative transference reactions and its effects on our ability to build connections and hold the sacred space. This will be done through an experiential exercise, small group discussion, and witnessing a complex sandplay journey of a heroic and “treatment resistant” eleven-year-old. Participants will also learn how to integrate EMDR’s Early Trauma Protocol for children into the sandplay/play therapy process through a written narrative with parents and/or guardians.

THUrSDAY JUNE 2 AFTErNOON 1:30 – 4:45 (includes 15 minute break) pre-ConferenCe worksHops An additional fee applies for the day. Sandplay and the Alchemical Imagination Laurel Howe, JA, ISST/CST-T (Denver, CO) We look closely at sandplay and play therapy as forms of alchemy, in the sense that they transform the player (the operator) through engagement in the imaginal realm. The alchemists purposely evoke the imaginatio, a meditative state of mind; sandplayers enter the realm spontaneously through the physical act of witnessed play, joining body, mind, spirit (and soul) in a healing change. We explore how sandplay is psychological alchemy, looking directly at case material, and learn about projection, transference, and the alchemical stages of transformation as aspects of Kalffian sandplay therapy. Participants may engage in an experiential encounter with this realm. LEvELS: ALL 3 HOUrS CE, APT CrEDIT APPrOvED
