What the parent hears about their child’s play therapy session: I played today. What is actually happening: developing a life narrative; having experiences validated; experiencing a relationship with healthy boundaries; making the unconscious, conscious; resolving internal conflicts; having worth and value unconditionally acknowledged; having emotionally corrective experiences. Play is MEANINGFUL for children and is how they COMMUNICATE. The PLAY THERAPIST provides the relationship and security as the vehicle to move through all of these play experiences.
