• So why play therapy? by, Eliana Gill

  Play therapy;
  “Helps you SHOW others what is going on inside.
  Helps you MANAGE and EXPRESS big and small hurts.
  Helps you go from passive to ACTIVE role (be in control).
  Helps you PROCESS terrifying tings that leave you speechless.
  Helps you physically REBUILD what feels destroyed.
  Helps you COMPENSATE for losses.
  Helps you OVERCOME hardships.
  Helps you establish RELATIONSHIPS with others.
  Helps you REGULATE your emotions.
  It is COMFORTING and NURTURING. ”
