Storytelling to teach and heal is a non-intrusive effective technique that has been used with children since the beginning of human history. This workshop explains the use of therapeutic storytelling with children and adolescents as part of the play therapy process. Learn the necessary components to write your own therapeutic stories where the therapist can create the ending with solutions to the problems. This training is based in part on the book: Therapeutic Stories to Teach and Heal by Nancy Davis, PhD and Marcella Marcey, PhD.

After attending this live webinar, participants will be able to:

• Define therapeutic stories and describe specific characteristics.
• Describe methods for selecting the appropriate story to match the child's therapeutic issues in play therapy.
• Demonstrate the effective use of therapeutic stories by applying various case studies.
• Demonstrate how the use of metaphors and fantasy work to bring about healing in the play therapy process.
