What Happens at a Play Therapy Session (mental health for kids)

[@ButterflyBeginningsCounseling]

Children’s expression in the playroom is so important. To do that, they need to experience a feeling of trust and safety in the room and in the relationship with the therapist. How do you develop this feeling with your child?

Gret video!How do you teach coping skills through play?

[@ButterflyBeginningsCounseling]

When the child is sad or frustrated, I model the coping skill first and then ask them to join me.
