Do you think we have enough therapy each week?
I have to tell you, though, I am so thankful for therapy. My boys are working through some incredibly deep and powerful 'stuff' through their play. You really have to see it to believe it.
I wish I had been trained in Filial Play Therapy a long time ago and feel as though any parent could benefit...especially foster and adoptive parents.
Filial Play Therapy is a closely related form of child-centred play therapy that involves the parents or caregivers directly as the agents of therapeutic change. We have a specific set of toys, a special location, and days when we have what is called 'special play time.' Themes have emerged during these times together and while I am no therapist, I can tell that it is a big deal.
It is such a gift to have the opportunity to watch as my sons work through and process what is going on and what has happened in their little lives.
I am also so thankful to have the support and guidance of the boys' therapists as we navigate this time of uncertain change together.
