“Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship”

"Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship" highlights how play therapy uses a child's natural way of communicating—play—to help them express feelings, solve problems, and develop coping skills. The therapist builds a trusting, supportive relationship with the child, creating a safe space for emotional exploration. Through guided and spontaneous play, children can work through difficult emotions and experiences in a way that feels natural and manageable. The therapy emphasizes the importance of the therapist-child bond, recognizing that a strong, empathetic relationship is key to facilitating healing and growth.
