Play therapy
Play therapy is a form of therapy used primarily for children. That’s because children may not be able to process their own emotions or articulate problems to parents or other adults. While it may look like ordinary playtime, play therapy can be much more than that.
What do therapists do?
A trained therapist can use playtime to observe and gain insights into a child’s problems. The therapist can then help the child explore emotions and deal with unresolved trauma. Through play, children can learn new coping mechanisms and how to redirect inappropriate behaviors.
Play therapy is practiced by a variety of licensed mental health professionals, like psychologists and psychiatrists. It’s also practiced by behavioral and occupational therapists, physical therapists, and social workers.
In addition, the Association for Play Therapy offers specialized training programs and advanced credentials for licensed mental health professionals, school counselors, and school psychologists.
What to expect?
Play therapy gives the child catharsis, and gives them insight into their issues. By allowing the child the freedom to express what they’re going through, play therapy can help the child to:
● Learn basic or advanced motor skills
● Learn decision-making and problem-solving skills
● Learn social skills
● Release excess energy
● Understand their emotions and their problems
● Gain more confidence through self-expression
● Enhance their imagination and creativity
