Most therapeutic models with set agendas do not work with children, especially when they are not ready to tell their story because of behavioural challenges, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
In this unique integrative training, practice creative and playful approaches to successfully engage children, move at their own pace and help them overcome their challenges.
You’ll be given an all-new process to follow so you can:
Discover IFS therapy as a non-directive, and non-pathologizing model that can be effectively applied to working with children of all ages. Whether incorporating in non-directive play therapy with younger children or engaging activities with older children, utilizing IFS techniques is easily adapted to therapy with children.
