What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps children explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play. It is a developmentally appropriate approach to therapy, as play is a natural medium of expression for children. In a play therapy session, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where the child can freely engage in play activities such as drawing, storytelling, and using toys. Through these activities, the therapist gains insight into the child's inner world and helps them process their emotions, develop coping skills, and work through challenging experiences. Play therapy can be beneficial for children dealing with a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, behavioral problems, and social difficulties.
