Description

Send us a textHow do you make sense of what’s going on in play therapy sessions and figure out if your clients are making progress?This is a question that comes up A LOT in my play therapy trainings and play therapy consultation groups.It’s a great question.Underlying this question is the understanding that play therapy sessions are not traditional talk therapy sessions because children use play therapy sessions differently than talk therapy sessions.What does that mean?It means the fundamental difference between play therapy sessions is how children access the therapeutic powers of play for healing.This requires the play therapist to recognize the play dynamics occurring in sessions and accurate assess what those play dynamics reveal about your clients.Play therapists need to recognize three essential elements of play dynamics in play therapy sessions and make sense of their relevance to what your clients are working through.Join me on this week's episode, I’ll discuss three aspects of play dynamics in play therapy and their importance for facilitating healing for children.Join my free Facebook Community Play and Expressive Arts Therapy Playground.Check out my free resources for mental health professionals working with children, adolescents, and families who want to integrate play therapy and expressive arts into their clinical work.
