#theraplay
Rare, but one of my schools run a cooking group for children and parents with a focus on praise, encouragement and emotional connection, as well as delicious food. I think it's great.
I have run a 6 week intervention like theraplay with a parent and child but only once in 15 years.

Theraplay is quite new to me and I enjoyed reading this, thank you! Interesting reflections on practice implications… It makes me wonder how it might be possible for LA EPs to engage in more direct therapeutic work with children and families over time

Therapists & Services engaging in the integration of #SensoryRegulation #Theraplay #EMDR & #DDP should:

✅Focus on enhancing parent comfort during integration
✅Explain the “why” behind methods
✅Reflect on acceptability, not just outcome.

Better understanding = better outcomes

Does anyone work in a school where parents are involved in pastoral interventions? E.g. invited along to theraplay, attend a parenting group to support a group their child is attending. My sense is that this is rare but I would like to check my impression of this #EDUSKY

Ah, publiziert die jetzt auch zu Autismus. Auch mit Theraplay oder hat sie ein neues Konzept entwickelt?
Muss mal nachschlagen wie alt sie jetzt eigentlich ist. Schon zu meiner Ausbildung vor über 25 Jahren hat meine Dozentin erzählt, dass sie mit Franke die Ausbildung gemacht hat….

Final word 💬

The study shows that successful integration of #SensoryRegulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, and #DDP requires:

❤️ Human insight
📚 Clinical knowledge
🛠️ Ongoing support systems

More research is also needed to move from theory to safe, reflective, and effective practice

Choosing an adoption or fostering agency? Check the support they provide & who delivers it.

Many outsource support. We don't. Our in-house Therapy Centre offers:

First of its kind 🚨

Integrating these core models is becoming more and more common in clinical practise.

This is the first study to explore how feasible and acceptable it is to integrate #SensoryRegulation, #Theraplay, #EMDR, and #DDP into one #AdoptionSupport intervention.

Theraplay: Helping Parents and Children Build Better Relationships Through Attachment-Based Play
Theraplay, Third Edition Theraplay, a pioneering application of attachment theory to clinical work,helps parents learn and practice how to provide the playful engagement, empathic responsiveness, and clear guidance that lead to secure attachment and lifelong mental health in their children. This third edition of the groundbreaking book Theraplay shows how to use play to engage children in interactions that lead to competence, self-regulation, self-esteem, and trust. Theraplays relationship-based approach is uniquely designed to help families facing todays busy and often chaotic lifestyle challengesform joyful, loving relationships. "The third edition of Theraplay successfully tackles the difficult question of how to address attachment-based trauma healing wounds, teaching healthy relationship-building, and having fun without re-traumatizing the already traumatized child. This is a first-class, step-by-step guide, which includes theory and rationale for the many Theraplay activities provided." Lark Eshleman, Ph.D, author of Becoming a Family: Promoting Healthy Attachments with Your Adopted Child and founder and CEO, Institute for Children and Families "Phyllis Booth and colleagues have again brought to life this rich model of treatment for children and their parents. Theraplay is truly a gift provided to those of us who offer developmental assistance to children and their families." Dan Hughes, Ph.D., psychologist and author of Attachment-Focused Family Therapy and Attachment-Focused Parenting

A delight to read. Thank you. I trained in Theraplay in 2013 in private practice & found it to be transformative with children in care. I'm back as a LA EP now & find I often promote the principles of Structure Engagement Nurture Challenge (SENC) as a given in key adult interactions with children.

Genuinely shocked. Worked 20 years in adoption. The ASF was invaluable & supported by successive Tory govts.

PM clearly does not understand why the Fund is there. Its there to give vital support e.g. Theraplay, not for care costs. This is deeply worrying

So What?

Real-world clinical impact 🌍🧠

Integrating #sensoryregulation #Theraplay #EMDR & #DDP is feasible & acceptable across a wide age range of adoptive parents (28–54) and children (3–13)

This is promising as integrating these models to varying degrees is already common.
