| Children Heal Through Play |
|
Art Therapy and Play Therapy are two ways children may access and heal upsetting events in their lives. Linda Hunter, a Registered Play Therapist, states, “Imaginative play is used by children to resolve the past, cope with the present, and prepare for the future” “In play children find answers from within”. A child therapist may help by being an attentive witness to this play or artmaking activity. In being supported this way, the child most often feels heard and understood.
