Windows into the Child's World: Systems, Trauma, and Therapeutic Play
"Children are affected by more than the family system." – Violet Oaklander
What is this training about?
Children are part of multiple systems—family, school, healthcare, legal, and cultural—that can either support or hinder their development. When these systems create or intensify traumatic experiences, many children internalize negative messages (introjects) about their worth, identity, and safety.
Through theory, experiential work, projective techniques, and clinical examples, you will learn to identify and work with these internalized messages to help children strengthen their sense of self, integrate healthier beliefs, and support their emotional healing.
