Through play and the healing power of relationship, hurting children are restored.
Play is the natural language of children. They tell us what they need, how they feel, and what has happened to them in their play.
Children also know intuitively what they need to do in order to heal.
In a safe environment, in a trusting relationship with a therapist, and through the language of play, children get right to work. They are courageous and tireless in their need to share their experiences with one who can be fully present with them. By being present with a child’s play, we enter that child’s experience of the world.
