This workshop is designed to explore basic directive and non-directive tools in working therapeutically with children exposed to overwhelming experiences (i.e. – abuse, neglect, attachment disruptions, etc.) that potentially compromise a normative or optimal developmental trajectory (e.g. – anxiety, depression, oppositional behavior, attention challenges, etc.). Specific techniques and interventions stemming from a safety-seeking and social engagement model of care emphasizing an approach that scaffolds in an increasingly coherent resourced sense of self in the world will be addressed.
