Play therapy is a key tool we use to understand and assist children in coping with their emotional difficulties. It provides us with a deep insight into their language and inner worlds.
Play Therapies: Discovering the Hidden Language of Children
For children, play is not just a fun activity, but also a way to express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Play therapy aims to reach into their emotional world by using this special language.
The Foundations of Play Therapy
As a branch of psychotherapy, play therapy aims to help children solve their emotional and cognitive problems through play. Play is a natural tool for children to express themselves. Therefore, in play therapy, children can freely express their feelings and thoughts with toys, drawings, and other creative materials.
Why Play Therapy?
Many children allow their traumas or emotional problems to build up inside because they cannot express them in words. Play therapy can help the child process these issues in a safe environment under the guidance of a therapist.
