Play Therapy for Traumatized Children Children who have experienced trauma often struggle to express their emotions and process their experiences through traditional talk therapy alone. Play therapy offers a powerful alternative, providing a safe and supportive environment for children to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences through play. In this chapter, we will explore the principles, techniques, and benefits of play therapy for traumatised children.

Meeting the Unmet Needs of the Child When a child comes in to care, as well as the things that have happened to them, it is vitally important for onward development and resolution of trauma that the things that did not happen - engagement of an attuned adult, co-regulation, developmental tasks such as object permanence and Relationship repair to name but a few - are addressed.

You don’t have to experience trauma first hand for it to affect you. Acknowledging the impact and talking is key to recovery, even if you think you’re fine.

Think of talking now as a detox that will benefit you mentally and physically later on.

Emotional regulation takes years for children to internalise and like all areas of development it happens at different times for different children. But unlike other areas of development we are less empathic when a child has not internalised this capability yet. Statements such as "they should know better" or "they're just at it" are not uncommon. For some children it's even harder, for example those who have experienced developmental trauma or are neurodivergent. They may present in other areas of development in line with their chronological age but due to their biology and a vulnerable nervous system they become overwhelmed with daily demands. If you are caring for or supporting a child, who becomes easily distressed and dysregulated, irrespective of their age, come along to our live webinar, Navigating the Early Years, Tuesday 18th June at 7pm. We will be exploring the development of emotional regulation and how to meet your child where they are at. Book you spot at https://lnkd.in/eJ-cryzq
