What happens in play therapy sessions?

Children may use toys such as small world figures or puppets, or may engage in role play with the therapist to, “play out,” and make sense of specific experiences or emotions. Children may use painting, drawing, construction toys or sensory play, to aid self-expression. The therapist then identifies overarching themes present in the play to gain insight into the child’s inner world.
