Play therapy for trauma

Play therapy for trauma is a therapeutic approach primarily used with children to help them express their feelings and experiences through play. Since children often struggle to articulate their emotions, play allows them to communicate and process traumatic events in a safe environment. Trained therapists facilitate this process using toys, games, and creative activities to guide children in exploring their thoughts and feelings. By engaging in play, children can work through their trauma, develop coping strategies, and ultimately foster emotional healing and resilience.
