Description
Storytelling is an effective way to tell in a natural way what many children experience. This provides the opportunity to explore a wide range of life’s thoughts, emotions and problems.
In Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy the application of cognitive and behavioral techniques through storytelling is aimed at generating thoughts, emotions and alternative actions in the child to cope with the problems he is experiencing, increasing problem-solving skills and the sense of mastery of the world.
The storytelling training proposes the integrated use of narrative activity, play and cognitive and behavioral interventions, evolutionarily adequate, in order to transmit to professionals in the sector a tool to deal with the problems of the child in an indirect way, providing him with the more adaptive coping capacity development opportunities.
