Play therapy is the perfect medium for approaching trauma narrative work with children. Integration of sensory content, emotions, somatic awareness and greater detail in the narrative are all aided by a child’s use of developmentally appropriate mediums, such as play, art and sand.

TraumaPlay™ is an attachment grounded, evidence-informed, flexibly-sequential play therapy model for treating traumatized children and uses play-based gradual exposure as one of the core components of treatment.

Join Paris Goodyear-Brown, creator of TraumaPlay™ to explore diverse ways children express trauma beyond verbal narratives.  Witness how:

• Play therapy interventions, art, sand, puppetry, writing, and song enhance the depth of a child's trauma narrative
• Verbal expressions may lack the full scope of a child's trauma experience
• Integrating sensory elements and developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques enrich and deepen the narrative
• Gain insights from clinical examples highlighting the expansion and enrichment of a child's narrative through playful linguistic mediums
