This highly experiential introductory day will model practical ways of dealing with anger, frustration, and the disruptive acting-out of children and adolescents.

Expressive Therapy tools such as drawing, bioenergetics, emotional release exercises and relaxation will be introduced. As well as presenting the framework and principles of Expressive Therapies, there will be a focus on understanding symbolic expression of anger, bringing closure after release work and supporting integration. These approaches have been developed from psychodynamic theory, and support young clients to resolve underlying emotional issues impacting negatively on behaviour and cognition.
