Imaginative play in action ✨

We’ve been doing some very cool work with this client using to scaffold creative storytelling. Together we co-create stories, build characters, and design soundscapes that bring ideas to life.

Having visual supports helps contain the narrative, organise thoughts, and safely extend creativity giving imagination both structure and freedom ! 🎨🎶

🎮🥁 What if therapy looked more like a boss battle than ‘just playing instruments’ ?

This is what happens when a client walks into Music Therapy with a love for video games, METAL MUSIC 🤘, and fast-paced rhythms… and we lean into it instead of shutting it down.

With ADHD/ASD, there’s challenges around focus, mood, regulation, and impulses can hit hard so we build sessions around strengths, using rhythm and structure to support regulation 🔥

When attention drifts or the energy spikes, we guide him back to the Green (calm) zone through interactive musical “shootouts”:

🌍 Earth powers = throwing rocks
🌪️ Wind powers = blasting waves

Then we turn it into drumming:

⚔️ Attack = play the beat and match the character’s movement with RHYTHM 🥁
🛡️ Defend = freeze, block, stop on cue
🔁 Turn-take = wait, watch, respond, repeat

Underneath the fun, he’s practicing impulse control, attention, and emotional regulation…
But to him?

It’s a game.
It’s FUN and PLAY
It’s real-world skill building.

Music Therapy. We’re breaking the mold.
It’s therapy that doesn’t feel like therapy 🔥🎶

This week we’ve been learning the Sprunki sounds!
Sprunky is kind of like Incredibox - you click different characters, and each one has their own beat or musical part. Then we build tracks by layering sounds, taking them away, and mixing them into our own beats.

So far we’ve learnt:
🥁 Oren = bass drum (ba ba ba BA ba)
🎹 Simon = short synth melody
🌳 Mr. Tree = melody with a church organ sound

And while it looks like “just making beats”… we’re actually
working on:

🧠 decision-making + regulating
🔁 memory + sequencing
👀 attention skills (sustained + alternating)

It’s Therapy, that doesn’t feel like Therapy 🔥🎶

🏡 DBT House with kids = honestly such a game changer
🤙🏻🔥

It takes big feelings (that kids can have challenges expressing) and turns them into something they can actually see, build, and talk about without shutting down.

It’s super hands-on, engaging, and it makes emotional regulation way less scary.

Key areas this one looks at is:
👉 Emotional Awareness and Processing
👉 Emotional Regulation

Quick levels of the DBT House:
Child can be supported to fill in resource OR draw their own!

Adaptable to all abilities, clients may choose to colour, make a sound, make an action, get creative !

Parts of the DBT house:

🧱 Foundation = what keeps me strong (values + safety)
💪 Walls = my strengths + coping skills
🪟 Windows/Billboard = how I show my feelings to others
🚪 Door = who I let in / my safe support people
🛋️ Inside = things I want more of in life (calm, fun, confidence)
😰 Basement = fears, worries, heavy stuff
🛡️ Roof = protection + boundaries
🎯 Top Level = goals + dreams I’m working towards
🏠 Chimnee = what lets off stem, what calms you down?

Simple activity… but BIIG impact! 🧠🤙🏻
