When children experience disruptions or traumas in their family of origin, they may feel unloved, unwanted, and abandoned. Given that children may not have the words to express their emotions, they may demonstrate an increase in maladaptive behaviors. The use of play therapy methods and activities can be a fun and powerful tool to assist in building the bonds of attachment. This workshop will explore how to utilize play therapy activities to increase self-esteem, improve self-regulation, and enhance healthy relationships with others. This workshop will also explore how to utilize parents in the play therapy process to facilitate secure-based attachment patterns.
