Course Description

Play therapy supervisors must be aware and able to spot compassion fatigue and burnout in our supervisees and ourselves. Therapists providing play therapy services to children may be more prone to suffer from compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout likely due to the issues child clients present with and the energy required to provide high quality play therapy services. Compassion fatigue can challenge even the most seasoned play therapists and take a toll on the therapist’s emotional well-being. Through this training, participants will learn practical strategies to be prepared and to combat compassion fatigue that may emerge from the work required of professionals who offer play therapy on a regular basis

1. Define and differentiate Sympathy, Empathy & Compassion and how they related to play therapy supervision. 

2. Define Burn out, Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue and be able to differentiate among the ways these are exhibited in play therapy clinicians. 

3. Analyze and identify at least 4 factors which lead or may lead to compassion fatigue in your play therapy work

4. Identify coping strategies that you can use with play therapy supervisees  to increase resiliency

5. Develop ways to find support for yourself and give support to your play therapy supervisees and colleagues
