Through the lens of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology, learn how to integrate the intensity experienced by both the child and yourself during aggressive play in a way that leads towards greater healing and integration.
Aggression in Play Therapy: A Neurobiological Approach for Integrating Intensity explains the neurological processes that lead kids to dysregulation and provides therapists with tools to help their clients facilitate deep emotional healing, without causing their own nervous system to shut down
With an understanding of aggressive play based on brain function and neuroscience, this book provides therapists with a framework to work authentically with aggressive play, while making it an integrative and therapeutic experience for the child. It also offers play therapists practical ways of handling a pervasive issue with intense and aggressive play by their clients.
Topics covered include: embracing aggression; understanding the nervous system; understanding regulation; developing yourself as an external regulator; authentic expression; setting boundaries; working with emotional flooding; supporting parents during aggressive play.
