I totally love this...

This is SO great!! Love how he mentions that anxiety is just a small piece of who he is, and is normal and manageable even without meds

Such a great article... Just because kids aren't bringing up the subject of recent events does not mean they aren't thinking about it. Really good read!

Sand tray is my favorite psychodynamic approach with people of ALL ages! Scenes like the one this kiddo created serve as a symbolic, often non-verbal way to process trauma and problem-solve, allowing the creator to see things from an outside perspective. The sensory factors of the fine, shimmery sand also help with self-soothing. Love it!

For those who like to hear the clinical stuff... I only use evidence-based approaches in my practice, so if it has not been researched and has not shown statistically significant results, I do not practice it. That is why I love Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for treating trauma. Here is a little article on why I choose this approach... (By the way, I love, love working with trauma! It gives me real perspective and inspiration on the strength of the human spirit!)
