- Trauma and creativity skills are an effective combination for counsellors and therapists.
- On this weekend, you will learn how to use creative trauma and expressive arts to help clients process traumatic experiences in a gentle way. In addition, this weekend is designed as a way of supporting ourselves around trauma and PTSD through self-care. To support this there will be some personal and group process during these trauma trainings.

Ways to use sandplay, art, music and movement in trauma-informed practice. Sandplay and expressive arts are especially effective in helping people with relational or complex trauma.

To explore how trauma and creativity can easily be combined with other trauma models e.g. person-centred, trauma-focused CBT, Gestalt or Jungian ways of working.
