In play therapy, frustration doesn’t need to be avoided, it needs to be felt safely.
We used stacking stones to invite moments of imbalance and collapse, noticing what showed up in the body and naming the feelings that followed.

When building the tower, we noticed feelings of anxiety and hesitation.

When the tower fell, the focus wasn’t on fixing it, but on staying with the feeling, practicing regulation, and rebuilding with compassion.

Small pieces but big nervous system work!

Are You Struggling to Understand Your Child’s “Out of Nowhere” Behaviour?
When a child’s behaviour seems to appear out of nowhere, it can leave parents feeling bewildered, frustrated, or at a loss for how to respond. What often looks sudden or random usually has a trigger behind it — especially for children impacted by trauma — but identifying what sets off behaviour isn’t always obvious.

🎧 Listen to our podcast Understanding Triggers — When Behaviour Comes From “Nowhere” | Talk – Ep.16, where we talk about how triggers work, why they can feel invisible, and how recognising them can change the way you understand and support your child’s behaviour in compassionate, effective ways.

Finding Calm in Creativity 🎨

We recently took some time out as a team to focus on something just as important as our work, our well-being. We came together for a pottery painting session, giving ourselves the chance to slow down, switch off, and enjoy something creative.

We love the look of concentration on everyone’s faces, completely in the moment, carefully painting, and enjoying the calm that comes with it. It’s not often you get to see this side of each other, and it made the experience even more special.

A simple way to reset, reconnect, and spend quality time together.

Kim has been collecting new books to add to our Therapeutic Stories collection on YouTube!

Therapeutic stories help children make sense of big or confusing experiences in a safe, indirect way. Through characters and simple narratives, children can explore feelings, worries, and changes without pressure to talk directly about themselves. Stories support emotional understanding, reassurance, and connection, often opening the door to conversations that feel too hard to start any other way.

Are You Wondering How Behaviour Therapy Can Actually Help Your Child After Trauma?
When trauma has shaped your child’s behaviour, traditional “just try harder” approaches can feel pointless — and leave both you and your child stuck, frustrated, or misunderstood. It’s normal to wonder what behaviour therapy really does, when it helps, and how it fits with trauma‑informed care.

🎧 Listen to our podcast How Behaviour Therapy Can Help Children With Trauma | Talk – Ep.15, where we break down what behaviour therapy is (and isn’t), how it works alongside trauma‑informed support, and how parents and carers can use evidence‑based approaches to build safety, skills, and stronger relationships.

🎙️Is Your Child Struggling to Regulate Their Emotions After Trauma?
Children who’ve experienced trauma often have big, overwhelming feelings that seem to come out of nowhere — and it can leave parents feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure how to help. Emotional regulation isn’t just “calming down” — it’s about building skills and safety in the nervous system, and that takes support, patience, and understanding.

🎧 Listen to our podcast Emotional Regulation for Children With Trauma | Talk – Ep.13, where we explore why emotional regulation is such a challenge after trauma, what it really looks like in everyday life, and practical strategies parents and carers can use to support emotional growth and resilience.
