Play therapy uses play as a way for children aged 3 to 11 to express themselves and process difficult experiences. It can help with issues like divorce, abuse, adoption, loss, illness, violence, and disorders. Play therapy aims to reduce anxiety, facilitate expression of feelings, and promote self-confidence, trust, and healthy relationships while supporting children's development. The therapist observes the child's play to understand their perspective and personality.
