In the realm of mental health, traditional talk therapy isn’t always the most effective means of expression. That’s where Expressive Play comes in, offering a creative avenue for exploring emotions and experiences. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Jonna Tamases at Jonna Therapy believes in the power of creativity to facilitate healing.
As Jonna aptly states,
“Expressive Play allows us to tap into
our inner worlds in a way that words alone cannot.”
Expressive Play encourages individuals to engage in various forms of creative expression, such as movement, art, and storytelling, to access and process complex emotions. Through activities like role-playing, drawing, and guided imagery, clients can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment.
At Jonna Therapy, Expressive Play sessions are tailored to each individual’s unique needs and preferences. Jonna provides gentle guidance and encouragement, fostering a sense of playfulness and exploration. Absolutely no prior creative experience is necessary—just a willingness to engage and an open mind.
Expressive Play offers a refreshing alternative to traditional talk therapy, allowing clients to bypass cognitive defenses and access deeper layers of their psyche. By embracing creativity, individuals can unleash their innate capacity for self-discovery and healing.
