How Children Improve With Play Therapy British Columbia

By Cynthia Hayes


Children need to deal with their issues, just like adults. The problem is that they are often very resistant to therapy. They battle to express themselves and usually bottle up their emotions when there is something that they are struggling with in their life. However, over the years, one has found that play therapy British Columbia has grown from strength to strength.

Children are not always able to be as expressive in a verbal sense as adults are. This is why talk therapy is not always the best option. Sometimes they will have trust issues, and other times they will have problems simply getting something off their chest. It can be difficult to know where to start. When they are more creative, they learn to become more free in their ways.

There may be problems in the home, and this is why a lot of psychologists will see kids in this format. They will begin to see how children open up in the most honest way. This begins to happen as they express themselves in a non-verbal way. They are more honest at this time of their lives, which makes it easier for the psychologist to see what is happening.

Some children will draw a picture of their family. They will use dark colors, which will give one an impression that there is no joy in the home. There may be no expressions on the faces of the families. There may also be some anger involved. A therapist can also tell when there is some abuse involved.

Talk therapy was something that was more traditional and children were sent to these psychologists in the past. However, it was not always effective since children struggled to express themselves verbally. Kids often have trust issues. This can particularly relate to what is going on in the home environment. They may battle talking to another adult as well.

Some kids are more extroverted, and they will be attracted to a certain set of toys. They may want to perform a role play with action figures. Imaginary play is also common in a case like this. The therapist can often analyze what is happening. Introverted kids like to stick to themselves and perform tasks by themselves.

As the child works with the therapist, they will start to connect more and more. This is important because it will build up to a solid relationship and this is what one has to work towards. When the child feels that they are able to trust the psychologist, the may start to confide in them. It can be difficult for a child when they don't know where else to turn.

It has proven to be very effective, compared to any other therapy as children will look forward to coming to this type of psychologist. They don't see it as therapy. They will want to go and see someone so they can play with their favorite toys. They will want to draw with various materials or show their therapist about various skills they have, making puppets, for example, which can help them go forward in life. However, one has to remember that it can also take time, so parents have to be patient.
