Advocating for our Clients Using Music, Movement, and Metaphor in Play Therapy

Part 1:  Advocating for our Clients in Play Therapy Through the Creative use of Miniatures.

This workshop will demonstrate how to use symbols and figures outside the tray.  Clients can build a personal miniature world or use symbols without the use of a traditional sand tray.  Participants will learn how to use these unique techniques combining the wonderful use of miniatures and figures to create a metaphor or narrative of the child’s world.
