Rehearsing!

The creative arts therapy space is also a little “rehearsal space” for children. Many things happen during the week of a child. Their interactions and their emotional responses are aspects that we cannot overlook. Sometimes the least significant moment to us, might be a momentous one to the child.
The beauty of the creative arts is that it provides flexibility and safety for the child to work on certain events that might have happened or events that the child is anticipating might happen.
Together with the therapist, the creative arts present a space where the child may explore different reactions, responses and their corresponding consequences, giving them more flexibility and resources to respond or regulate when or if the event happens again.
