Big Behaviors in Small Containers : 131 Trauma-Informed Play Therapy Interventions for Disorders of Dysregulation Paperback / softback
by Paris Goodyear-Brown
Paperback / softback
Description
When it comes to working with dysregulated children, sometimes the biggest behaviors come in the smallest containers.
From tantrums and defiance to self-injury and withdrawal, even the most skilled professionals find themselves focused on extinguishing the troubling behavior rather than stepping back to ask: What is the underlying emotional need?
In Big Behaviors in Small Containers, you'll find 131 practical, fun, and ready-to-use play therapy interventions that shift the paradigm around problematic behaviors to allow for therapeutic growth and healing. Based on TraumaPlay(R), a treatment approach that prioritizes attachment,
co-regulation, and the science of the stress response system, the interventions inside will help kids:
* Develop a sense of safety and security
* Expand their window of tolerance
* Cope adaptively with anger, anxiety, and other strong emotions
* Enhance their emotional literacy
* Strengthen social skills and self-esteem
* Challenge and overcome unhelpful thoughts
* Develop a coherent narrative around trauma and other difficult experiences
* And more!
Whether you're a therapist, teacher, doctor, caregiver, or trusted grown-up in a child's life, the tools inside will allow you to become the co-regulating, nurturing, and consistent presence that your "small container" needs to remain grounded in the face of stress, big feelings, and difficult situations.
