🧸 PLAY, EMOTIONS & THERAPY 💬
Through CBT techniques mediated by play, the therapist supports the child in recognizing emotions, understanding others’ needs, and developing essential relational skills.

Symbolic play activities include:
🏠 Dollhouse play – to explore family dynamics
🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ Character play – to express emotions and roles
💄 Care and beauty play – to stimulate empathy and attention
🍳 Kitchen play – to recreate caregiving and cooperation

…play becomes a safe space where children can process experiences, build trust, and achieve therapeutic goals.

🎯 Play is not just imitation: it’s connection, it’s care, it’s transformation.
