As a Level One trained professional in the Theraplay model, I regularly incorporate this therapeutic modality into my practice. Theraplay is a play-based, attachment-focused therapy that enhances the child-parent relationship. It's grounded in the principle of guided interaction, where playful, engaging activities are used to deepen emotional connections, improve communication, and foster a sense of security and trust.
