Not all therapy rooms have four walls!!
Last week, a young client (who has trouble staying still and regulating their emotions) and I headed outside for our therapy session. I gave him permission to move, and as he did so we chatted (and spotted a kangaroo). Which dinosaur would win in a fight between a stegosaurus and a brontosaurus? Why do I have to go to school when I don't like it? Where do frogs go when its cold and dark? Why does my brother always take my toys when I am playing with them? And as we pondered lifes questions together, a shift occured and my young client began to process his emotions that had been bottled up inside for what must have felt like to him, forever.
