Play is a child's most natural form of expression. They will often attempt to work through emotions and feelings using play. Play based therapy deepens this and uses play to build emotional awareness and expression of a child's feelings, experiences, and cognitive functioning in a non-threatening manner.

A combination of directive and non-directive approaches are used according to the specific needs of the client. Activities are geared towards the developmental level of the child.

At Lori Gill Psychotherapy - Holistic Wellness for Health children can chose from an array of therapeutic play items such as puppets; various people, animal, and vehicle figures; costumes/role playing materials; books; and therapeutic games according to their preference. Choice, voice and empowerment can be used to builds competence and confidence that will carry forward with them throughout their life when reinforced.

We have an amazing expressive arts therapy space at our centre. Such a great spot to be creative and expressive in a non threatening way. The Healing Benefits of Art Based Therapy Art provides a powerful means for children and youth to express their feelings and emotions through an image or creation. This approach encourages self-discovery, personal expression, and healing. Projects might involve use of methods such as painting, sculpting, drawing, and the development of personalized creations. Upon completion creations are explored according to the perspective of the client that created them to allow insight into the symbolism behind their creations.

Art provides a safe and non-threatening means of externalizing experiences and allows for expression when no words are available. Often children and youth with the most intensive needs benefit greatly from these services as trauma is a sensory experience which impacts the ability to use left brain functions (language, impulse control, cause and effect etc.) it is not simply that I will not tell you what happened, sometimes I cannot tell you as I do not have access to the language and cognitive expressive domains. I do however in this state have access to images and sensory memory (sights, sounds, smells, sensations etc.). Art allows for expression of these sensory memories which creates a sense of safety and regulation this leads to the return of higher order cognitive functions (when safety has been experienced).

Our experiences and emotions have a direct impact on the holy with the body often holding excess energy which can cause energy and emotions to become too big / intense (such as stress, anxiety, anger and trauma) or too low / depleting (such as depression, grief, loss, chronic fatigue). Our goal at Lori Gill Psychotherapy is to help the children, youth and adults we work with learn how to release big energy or up regulate when hypoaroused so they can more effectively manage big or intense emotions in ways that feel better for them and their caregivers. At Lori Gill Psychotherapy we have a somatic therapy / sensory room that focuses on teaching children and youth to learn how to notice and feel their big emotions and also how to tend to these in a way that builds skills and competencies that they will carry forward with them throughout their life. www.hilisticwellnessforhealth.com
