Adults who have experienced trauma within their childhood often have suppressed memories which can impact on their adult selves. When trauma occurs in childhood, the inner child can become wounded, and this can impact on how an adult can and will respond when they are experiencing stress or similar difficulties which may be triggered by an unconscious memory. This will often result in overwhelming feelings and behaviours being experienced, making the adult feel vulnerable and emotionally overwhelmed.
The Certificate in Creative Arts and Play Therapy Counselling with Adults will enable participants to provide adult clients with the opportunity to work through their overwhelming feelings using APAC’s Integrative Holistic approach. This will incorporate a variety of media employed within Creative Arts and Play Therapy, including art, clay, sandplay and symbols, movement, music, storytelling, and creative visualisations.
The course will introduce some new theorists, as well as revisit others in more detail including Jung, Bion, Perry, Siegel, Bowlby, Winnicott and Hughes.
