What is Play Therapy.
Play is a child’s language and toys are their words. Through play children are able to express feelings, make sense of their experiences, explore relationships with others and understand their world.
Garry Landreth.
“Even under the most stressful circumstances, children can experience the pleasure of playing and can feel in control even when circumstances seem to be out of control.”
Benefits of Play Therapy
The Play Therapist creates a supportive, non-threatening environment and accepts the child as they are. Play allows children to act out difficult or confusing life experiences in a safe way.
