Play therapy uses the client's internal self-healing mechanisms to access unconscious and conscious experiences. The therapist forms a relationship with the client and encourages him or her to explore life events that affect his or her current life experience.

During play therapy, the therapist works at the client's pace. Talking is secondary to play in this form of therapy, and as such the client is encouraged to play while the therapist observes.

Play Therapy is suitable for adults too, as it helps them to relearn self-exploration, which enhances physical and cognitive behaviours. Play therapy gives children and adults freedom, increased creativity and life experience.

RRT is a short term, pain-free treatment for trauma, but is used to treat many issues.  It is a process that utilizes innovative techniques, components of evidence-based modalities and multi-level communication to re-wire how the mind processes information, without requiring the client to re-live the trauma.  RRT treats the whole mind (conscious and unconscious), so results are not only fast, but lasting. It is best to consult with your RRT practitioner first, to determine if your issue is a good fit for RRT.
