Description
This introductory course to working with children ages 12 and younger offers students a developmental framework for understanding the interconnections of nervous system presentations within a multigenerational family system. Using non-pathological approaches, students will learn to conceptualize presenting issues for guardians, children, and family systems through the lens of neurosomatic psychotherapy. Experiential practices will be explored through expressive therapy modalities and play. Students will expand on their knowledge of goal setting and treatment planning in consideration of a nervous system network while gaining experience working directly with children and guardians, moving theoretical knowledge into practice.
