Play is to the child what talk is to the adult. Play therapy is a medium for expressing feelings, exploring relationships, describing experiences, disclosing wishes, and nurturing self-fulfillment. Children express themselves and their needs, relive their past, and connect with others through play. The use of toys enables children to transfer anxieties, fears, fantasies, and guilt to objects rather than people. In the process, children are safe from their own feelings and reactions because play enables children to distance themselves from traumatic events and experiences. In this podcast Tammy Schamuhn interviews Lisa Dion, Clinician, Registered Play Therapist, Co-Founder of Synergetic Play Therapy. We take a deep dive into what play therapy looks like, how it creates long-lasting changes in children, and where you can get appropriate training should you want to explore this medium in your clinical work.Want to find out more?ICP is thrilled to offer its new professional membership.
