🍁 Intentions for November 🍁

This quote beautifully captures the essence of growth through change, especially relevant to play therapy. For children, the "falling leaves" symbolize the difficult emotions, fears, and behaviors they process, allowing them to shed what no longer serves them. This paves the way for the "new leaves" of healing, resilience, and developing healthier coping mechanisms through the safety and language of play.

For parents, supporting a child through their play therapy journey means witnessing these "falling leaves," which can be challenging. It requires patience, understanding, and trust in the process. As we enter the busy month of November, often filled with holiday preparations and increased demands, this quote also serves as a crucial reminder for parents to slow down and nurture their own well-being. Acknowledge your own "pain" and stress, but also find the "beauty" in moments of self-care and quiet reflection. Prioritizing your own "new leaves" of emotional regulation and peace isn't selfish; it's essential for you to remain congruent and regulated. By supporting yourselves, you create a more grounded and present environment, ultimately strengthening your ability to guide and support your children through their own beautiful journey of growth.

🧡🧡🧡
