Play Therapy Moments
Anxiety Expression Snapshot
A 7-year-old child with school anxiety plays with dolls that "go to school". Through this social play, the child channels their fears and learns ways to deal with anxiety.
Anger Expression Snapshot
A 5-year-old child with anger management issues builds and knocks down towers with blocks. Play allows the child to express their anger in a safe framework, while simultaneously learning to manage it.
