- The challenges and extra possible triggers specific to using expressive tools in the playroom whether with children or adults.

This exploration will be done through discussion and expressive play therapy tools such as the use of metaphors, visualizations, family photographs, art therapy, sand play therapy, writing, etc.
As well as gaining greater awareness of their personal issues, participants will be given the opportunity to explore the unique gifts and strengths they have gained on their personal/professional journey and discover practical ways of remembering to use them when most needed.
