Synergetic Play Therapy
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
Oh no! Not again!
Your child’s teacher just emailed you (again) trying to delicately tell you that your child has acted out (again), and your heart sinks. You try to respond gracefully and with a sincere apology – and yet you are at a loss with how to help your child.
It’s easy to wonder where you went wrong in your parenting, getting lost in the dark without anyone to answer your questions.
I want to shed some light for you, so you can see your child in a new way, to have the compassion that has been hard to find, and to offer you and your child some new tools to overcome their challenges.
Let’s find some answers to help you and
your child.
Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) allows your child to reveal and express what is fully going on for them in a safe and controlled environment.
When your child and I are playing together, an awareness of sensation, emotion, and behavior are first felt, then named; and an alternative behavior is discovered and practiced.
You might be noticing concerning behaviors at home or at school. Your family may have just gone through a major life change such as moving, new siblings, divorce, or a death in the family. Or you might just have the deep gut feeling that we get as parents that tells us that our child is struggling – and more support is needed.
Through play, nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, mindfulness, and authenticity, I can reduce your child’s stress levels and concerning behaviors, and increase their self-expression, self-regulation, and confidence.
Don’t continue in the dark about what your child is thinking.
Contact me today by scheduling a 20-minute phone consultation, so we can begin learning the deep concerns inside your child.
