Play Therapy
Therapists In Denver And Nearby Specializing In Play Therapy
Play therapy is a technique used in therapy for children. In play therapy, a therapist interacts with the child by interpreting play behavior and communication. Play therapy also uses a child’s play to help him or her manage the emotional and behavioral difficulties that interfere with normal and proper functioning.
Another goal of play therapy is to improve communication and help establish better rapport between children and their parents. Play therapy may also be used to help children control their impulses, increase their self-esteem and self-confidence, reduce their anxiety, and help them adapt better to the people around them.
Play therapy tries to increase a child’s ability to relate to others and understand them better, thus helping the child to establish trust. The play therapist tries to understand the emotional issues that may be troubling a child, during each stage of his or her early development, as enacted through play interactions with various toys and other objects.
Through play, the therapist tries to teach children to better cope with anxiety and fear. Play therapy also may be used to treat attention deficit disorder or ADD, aggressive behavior, depression, oppositional behavior, and various other issues that may be stunting the emotional development of a child.
