Play is Healing

This blog is about Play in general and about the feelings, thoughts and experiences of a Play Therapist's journey. I believe that Play has a healing quality and that the Play is a natural form of self-expression, a medium for experimentation, communication and learning. Through play a child can make sense of feelings, frustrations and new experiences. Play can be joyful and care free but also serious work. Play Therapy is a holistic approach using play as a means of ‘helping’ in a non invasive way the ‘whole’ child. By this I mean: the physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of a child. This understanding is open to the conscious and unconscious, the past, the present and the future.
