My child (13f) has gone through some awful stuff within her lifetime and, however, still seems to enjoy playing with toys quite a considerable amount. We've tried many methods of therapy however none have made her put in the effort or 'clicked.' Two nights ago, she suggested to me play therapy. I hadn't considered that before and I think that she seems to be on board with the idea. Another part of me, though, think's she's too old to be doing all this! When she plays she often simulates real life scenarios in the form of the toys (I think this is her way of working through it) and talks to herself too.
AIBU to not go ahead with it immediately? Also how would I find a play therapist who would take on a 13 year old? I'm not opposed but would like more information from anyone please!! x
