CORE THEMES OF TRAINING AT CLARITY:

Creating a Safe Space

Participants will learn how to curate a playroom that meets the physical, emotional, and symbolic needs of children. This includes selecting appropriate toys and materials, organizing the environment, and ensuring the space supports therapeutic goals.

Becoming a Safe Container

Through self-reflection and guided practice, therapists will enhance their ability to remain present and regulated, even in the face of a child’s intense emotions or challenging behaviors. This self-mastery allows therapists to model calmness and safety, fostering trust and connection with clients.

Deepening Non-Directive Play Therapy Skills

Our training emphasizes the importance of honoring the child’s autonomy and allowing them to lead their healing journey. Therapists will gain insight into the power of symbolic play and how to support children in expressing themselves freely without judgment.

Integrating Spiritual Themes

Therapists will explore how to bring spiritual perspectives into their work, recognizing each child’s authentic self and facilitating healing at a soul-deep level. This approach helps therapists align with their purpose and connect more deeply with the children they serve.
