Gestalt play therapy

Gestalt play therapy is an approach that combines principles of Gestalt psychology with play therapy techniques. It focuses on helping children express their feelings and experiences through play, which is a natural way for them to communicate. By engaging in various play activities, children can explore their emotions, improve self-awareness, and process experiences. The therapist observes and supports the child, facilitating understanding of their behavior and feelings in the moment. This method emphasizes personal growth, self-acceptance, and the importance of the present experience, helping children integrate their thoughts and feelings into a cohesive sense of self.
