I'm very familiar with play therapy, as I was trained in some techniques when I was a preschool teacher. Play therapy has been very effective in my experiences using it with very young children, but I wonder what play therapy would look like for older adolescents? This past year, I had a client who was not ready to engage in therapy at all, much less process the loss she had endured, so my goals for working with her were to create a safe space for her to regulate her emotions and be comfortable existing - basically, we played a lot of Uno. I wonder how we could take the concepts of play therapy and more effectively utilize them with older teenagers, especially ones who have endured trauma and/or loss.
