She was irritable, negative, emotionally sensitive, and was struggling in her family relationships. Through therapy, Laura was able to learn to understand and express her needs and use calming techniques to handle her emotions. Laura will tell you about those things she did and learned in therapy-from the playroom to sandtray to neurofeedback! Tune in for a child’s perspective on going to therapy.
