Description

For many child therapists, boundary setting can feel complicated, not knowing when to do it and how to do it in a way without shaming the child or stopping their play...

But when we work from a neuro-biological perspective, keeping the child’s brain and nervous system activation in mind we can begin to understand how to set boundaries in a way that supports healing and integration while enhancing the therapeutic relationship.

View Lisa Dion, LPC, RPT-S, international teacher and creator of Synergetic Play Therapy, as she shares the important steps for boundary setting in play therapy…

  • Perceived threats/challenges
  • Becoming the external regulator to support child
  • Tips for emotional flooding
  • Redirecting with action and words
  • And More!

Drawing from interpersonal neurobiology and Synergetic Play Therapy, you’ll learn the tools on how to set boundaries without shaming the child or stopping the child's play, allowing for deeper integration and connection!
