Jennifer Lefebre – Certificate in Trauma Treatment for Children and Adolescents
Early in my career, a young girl who had been completely non-verbal following a traumatic event came into my office. I wasn’t sure what to do, so we silently played with pipe cleaners.
The next day her mother called to tell me her daughter smiled after our session. It was her first smile in 6 months.
Once I saw how powerful play, connection and touch can be in healing trauma, I knew I needed to learn more. I became a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor and received specialized training for working with kids and complex trauma.
After years of working with kids and trauma, what I’ve discovered is simple:
By incorporating play into our trauma treatment models, we give words to the voiceless and power to the powerless.
When you integrate play therapy with the core components of the leading evidence-based trauma treatments like EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, and more, you can unlock a powerful approach that can help your clients achieve lasting results.
Let me teach you the tools, strategies and techniques you need to effortlessly blend play into your clinical practice. Join me for my comprehensive certification course, and I’ll show you, step-by-step, how you can help heal unspeakable heartache and offer your clients hope through the power of play.
