What Happens During Play Therapy

By Virginia King


Children have issues with their lives just as much as their moms and dads. They can go through as stage of anger where they throw many tantrums. Some kids will become withdrawn and isolated. Other children will display a sudden change in behaviour, becoming hyperactive. It is important to be aware of these symptoms and basic changes. There are people who specialize in kids, such as with play therapy.

This type of therapy is often what a child grows to enjoy. This is because they work with different props and objects, such as toys and creative materials as well imaginative processes which is what they do in their spare time as well. Kids don't respond well to one on one sessions where talk therapy is involved.

Parents shouldn't feel week in parenting skills. It is a child psychologist who is trained in this area. They are experienced to know what symptoms to look for and whether the child needs to focus on something more specialized. Symptoms are also closely related, so one has to be careful when diagnosing something. That is why self diagnosing something is not recommended.

One can see this with the emotions that are displayed when playing with toys. The therapist can ask them to play with certain characters. They may become angry when engaging with certain toys, especially when they resemble people. Anger can often come through in a case like this. Over time, the therapist will ask more questions. They may become sad or confused.

This is great because it tells the therapist more about what is happening in their lives. It comes naturally to the child who enjoys this type of play. It is what they are used to. They will feel comfortable in this type of an environment and will enjoy coming to the sessions where they have fun in what they are doing.

The theme of the drawing will tell the therapist something about what is happening in the life of the child. They will tell more about the colors in which they are using and the style in which they are drawing the image. Therapists usually work with the child, and over time, they will begin to ask them questions. It may be why they are feeling a certain way or other more personal questions.

When finding someone like this, it is important to opt for someone who has a good reputation. However, they should also have the qualifications as well as the skills which relate to other forms of therapy. This can relate to cognitive behavioural therapy which can help both kids and adults. This has become very successful for a number of years. Gestalt therapy is also something that most play therapists should learn about.

Obviously the experience should count as well. However, it is the connection which leads to a good relationship. This is usually the first thing one looks to with adult psychologists. But one can expect that it takes more time to connect with a child. It is also a skill and the therapist needs to do this gradually in order for this to go smoothly and for the relationship to be effective.
