Webinar Description: Children express the dynamics of their trauma experiences through their play process.  The child also expresses several other levels of how the trauma experience has affected their functioning.  This workshop will explain and demonstrate how children express the details of their trauma experience through play.  These different levels of individual functions will be discussed and demonstrated with children in different developmental stages and expressed as part of the play process.  The workshop will focus on how play therapists can respond in the play to move the child through the healing process. Dynamics of this process will be presented through video presentations.
