This document discusses play therapy techniques for children. It explains that play is a child's language to express emotions that they may struggle to verbalize. Gestalt play therapy aims to increase awareness and challenge blocks to healing through non-directive play. The therapist maintains contact and safety while avoiding interpretation, gently guiding children to own their projections. Boundaries are set around time, materials, behavior and movement to give children responsibility. Fantasy techniques like imagining being a rosebush assess aspects of the child's process.
