Filial Therapy
This is a type of family-based therapy that helps parents strengthen their relationship with their children by learning therapeutic play techniques. In simple terms, it teaches parents how to use special kinds of play to improve communication and connection with their children, making the child feel more understood, supported, and secure. The goal is to help children express their feelings and resolve issues in a safe, nurturing environment led by the parents.
What is Play Therapy?
Nondirective child-centered play therapy is a type of therapy where a child is given the freedom to play without being told what to do. The therapist doesn’t guide or direct the play; instead, they let the child choose how to play and express themselves. The idea is that children use play to communicate their feelings and experiences, and by letting them lead the session, they can work through their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. The therapist is there to listen, observe, and provide a comforting space, helping the child feel understood without controlling the process.
