When engaged in play therapy, children are allowed to distance themselves from difficult feelings and memories, which are frequently too hard for them to talk about directly with others. It gives children the opportunity to communicate their fears, worries, problems, wishes, and desires to others, which leads to an understanding of their own feelings which then leads to a decrease in the intensity of those feelings.
Families are a unique social system with their own structure and forms of communication. When one person in the family is impacted by something, it is likely that all members of the family will feel it in some way. Sometimes one person’s problems are a result of the way the entire family is functioning. Working together as a family in counseling can help each individual family member.
Attending individual counseling sessions allows you to talk about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are troubling you. Together with a counselor, you can make meaning of your experiences and utilize a variety of strategies so you can gain control over your life and have a stronger sense of self.
