Bring More Joy Into the Therapy Room

This training shows clinicians how playfulness and humor can deepen rapport, reduce shame, and create new therapeutic pathways. Participants will learn to use levity authentically and ethically, and explore when humor supports treatment—and when it may not.

The course provides practical strategies for bringing more delight and creativity into sessions, along with tools to encourage clients to engage with playfulness in their lives outside therapy. Through dynamic lecture and guided reflection, attendees gain confidence, skills, and a fresh perspective on what is possible in clinical work.

Led by Ashley Arnett, LCSW and AASECT-certified sex educator, this training offers a compassionate, culturally aware approach rooted in the healing power of human connection.
