PLAY! InterPlay Practice Group 4 Therapists
8 week training and support group
Connors John McConville
Oakland, CA
Tuesdays, 10 am–12 noon.
Witness the genius of play at work. Join Connors McConville in this powerful 8 week InterPlay Practice Group for Therapists and Healers.
We know how play can bring more joy and power into one's life; we teach other people including our clients to play; yet we find little time to play with others. Here is your opportunity!.
Experience easy ways to explore work as psychotherapists and healers, to connect with other therapists and be supported NOT by TALKING but by PLAYING together using InterPlay tools that reincorporate the resources of movement, voice, words, stories, and stillness. Through brief practices “players” tap personal wisdom and gain insight into ways to reorganize habits, transform patterns and heal trauma. InterPlay’s gentle, clear invitations shift the focus from fixing problems to being active creators in life.
InterPlay is a promising practice with applications to recovery, trauma, transitions, changing identities, and uncovering lost body wisdom. InterPlay therapists and coaches are using InterPlay to pioneer new paths to health with clients and each other around the world.
Course meets qualifications for 16 hours of continuing education credit for MFTs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Body Wisdom, Inc. Provider # 2583 Body Wisdom
