About

In this interactive presentation, we explore the power of storytelling and pop culture as transformative tools in play therapy for trauma healing. Participants will learn how to harness popular characters, narratives, and themes from movies, TV shows, and books to engage children and families in therapeutic play. By integrating familiar stories and symbols, we create safe spaces where individuals can process trauma, reclaim their narratives, and become the “main character” of their own healing journey. This presentation will provide practical interventions that combine play therapy techniques with pop culture references to support trauma recovery, promote resilience, and strengthen family bonds. This presentation connects historical insights with practical applications, enriching both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Whether you're new to play therapy or seeking to broaden your expertise, this webinar offers a comprehensive look at the rich history and ongoing impact of play therapy in the therapeutic community.
