    Portland - What is play therapy?

    Portland parents of young children take advantage of many resources to ensure their children a healthy, happy childhood. Portland's community of child therapists, or play therapists, offer therapy solutions for kids. Portland play therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the natural process of play to treat children. In other words, it's simply counseling for kids.

     
    The main reason that children play is to learn and make sense of their world. When children act out familiar or imaginary scenes, they try on different roles and experience the world from different perspectives. Play gives them a sense of mastery over situations they don't understand, such as divorce or the death of a grandparent, and it helps them release impulses that may be otherwise unacceptable. In addition, play allows children to express emotions that they can't explain. By reenacting situations in which they felt jealousy, disappointment, or resentment, for example, children learn to identify and regulate their emotions.
