Therapists often feel at a loss in how to support clients in the process of trying to reconnect with loved ones. Throughout the life process, events may transpire (divorce, death, a move, trauma or other) that interfere with and interrupt a child’s connection with a caregiver. There is hope and more importantly, skills, that can help facilitate this repair.
Lynn Louise Wonders, LPC, CPCS, RPT-S presents this 2-hour recorded webinar which provides therapists an interactive training opportunity to learn about the very specialized process of supporting and facilitating reunification between parents and children when there has been alienation and/or estrangement. Through the use of play therapy treatment planning and specific interventions, you will learn how to help this family repair and connect.
