Theraplay(R) is a unique play therapy approach that uses practitioner guidance to create playful and caring child-caretaker interactions that foster joyful shared experiences. These activities build attunement and understanding of each other – replicating early relationship experiences that are proven to lead to secure attachment. The interactions are personal, physical and fun – a natural way for everyone to experience the healing power of being together.
With the support of the Theraplay practitioner, parents learn to play with their child in a way that establishes felt safety, increases social engagement, expands regulation, and supports the development of positive self-esteem for both the child and the parent.
