Kim’s session takes place October 28th, 2021 - 6pm to 8pm CT:
Therapeutic Use of Self through an Attachment Lens - When approaching everyday pediatric occupational therapy practice through a trauma- informed lens it is critical to view every moment of contact with a client as both assessment and intervention. What do we do as therapists when our therapy sessions don’t go as planned? What do we do when a child is resistant to engaging in what we have to offer? The answer is that we become curious about what is really going on for the child – and we recognize the contributions of the therapist/client relationship in informing our assessment. The therapeutic relationships we create with our clients develop the foundational backdrop of comfort and safety for the child, and their family, opening the doorway for the provision of both standardized and informal evaluation within the occupational therapy context. This two-hour online session will examine the interpersonal neurobiology of therapeutic use of self and its influence on regulation of a child’s state of arousal through relationship. Through lecture, conversation and analysis, participants will deepen their skill-set of intentional non-verbal observations and interventions that support the process of standardized evaluation and clinical observations. Through a deeper understanding of attachment and trauma-informed principles, pediatric occupational therapy practice can become more impactful for our clients and their families.
