Play Therapy Technique: Butterflies in my Stomach

[@EmilyofREL]

When I was younger (about 7-8), a speech therapist had me make a worry ladder, as a way to rank the things that I was anxious about. She made one as well with her concerns, and we talked about our ladders with each other, then ripped them to pieces.

This activity works over and over! It's such a fun, easy way to get children to open up about their feelings! The book is a must for every counseling office! It is full of great ideas, techniques and activities!

I do my own version as a way of coping with my anxiety of specific things. I make a paper chain, on the inside of each link is what I'm anxious about, and on the outside is a positive thought about said anxiety.

I just came across this in trying to figure out a way to work with one of my students. This was one of the best techniques I have found so far. It worked wonderfully. Thank you for such a great resource!!!

The video is great. The assessment looks like a non-threatening way to get children to discuss their fears. Thank you for sharing.
