We know that children learn best when their brains are relaxed and focused, when they are not feeling flooded by peak stress moments. Children are in the optimal zone for learning when we can help get the brain in balance. When children are deeply immersed in a play therapy/EMDR session, both sides of the brain are working in concert, the creative imaginative right brain and the logical analytical left brain. The ultimate goal of trauma-informed play therapy/EMDR is to help children grow up to be competent, self-aware, inner-directed, secure, peaceful, and loving individuals.
