Play Therapy
Play is a child’s way of communicating what they are experiencing internally and it is
frequently a more effective means of communicating than with language. It is very
effective when working with young children who have not developed effective verbal skills.
Play Therapy differs from regular play in that the counselor helps children systematically
address and resolve their own problems.
Play Therapy refers to a large number of expressive methods, and can be used for all
ages, including adults.
Energy Psychology Works with the energy systems to release emotions that have
resulted in a disruption of the natural energetic flow and assist in releasing old beliefs and
patterns.
Hypnosis, NLP & other Techniques
They can be used to empower clients, change habits, improve life situations and
relationships.
Hypnosis is not the treatment of choice for every situation and is not recommended for
clients who may have court involvement.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR is a treatment that has proven to be very successful when working with people who
have experienced abuse and trauma as well as other life difficulties such as anxiety, stress,
anger, and much more.
EMDR has been used successfully since the 1980s, and it is based on the hypothesis that
there is a physiological component to each emotional complaint, and when traumatic events
occur the biochemical balance of the brains physical information processing system is
upset. This imbalance prevents the information processing from proceeding to a state of
adaptive resolution resulting in the person maintaining the original perceptions, emotions,
beliefs and meanings derived from the experience. In effect, the experiences are locked in
the nervous system. EMDR’s rhythmic intervention is thought to be a form of adaptive
information processing that may unlock the brain’s information processing system and
allowing the locked experiences to be processed.
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is used to release undesirable emotions and remove blocks allowing the individual
more control over their life and to live a happier, healthier and more productive life. It is
based on the concept of the Eastern meridian systems of the body where energy, thought
and emotions overlap.
It is a systematic structure of taping and working with the meridian to release undesirable
emotions and to restructure and renew desirable emotions.
Groups
Children who are very sensitive and have had extra sensory experiences, or are very
sensitive to the feelings, thoughts and moods of others or report seeing or talking to
angels, etc. These children are gifted but these experiences can be very confusing and
disturbing without adequate knowledge and appropriate coping skills.
Many children today appear to have symptoms of ADHD but many of them are just more
sensitive to the world that we live in due to the shift in the energy of these children. Some
may call these children Indigo, Crystal or Rainbow children but most of all it is important to
focus on the gifts they bring to our society.
Children's Mindfulness Groups will provide an opportunity for the children and parents to:
- connect with others who have had similar experiences
- feel accepted and appreciated for their gifts
- develop an understanding of the scientific and spiritual aspects of these experiences
- Learn how to cope and control their gifts
Adult's Groups groups are offered for adults who are interested in changing their life by
changing their energy patterns. This is an exciting time since scientific research is now
able to explain how and why many of the ancient spiritual healing practices work.
Several adult groups are offered. For info contact Barbara at 314-623-7575 or
