My son's play therapist wants to do family play therapy as well. My husband is not keen on the notion. But if he agrees, we might get to do sand table play.
I warned her that I'm not at *all* good at playing. :(
The idea makes me feel very self conscious, and like my husband, I wonder if she could actually tell anything about the real us under those circumstances. My husband says he'd be sure to be on his best behavior. :D
But she's worked wonders with my son. The original Gary Cooper clam. I never ever thought she'd break through to him. Yet a few short sessions later, he's a real pro and he's making real changes in how he handles things. Why can't I change that fast? It's not his age either. I went for a year at age 13 and didn't change an iota. Not really anyway.
I'm so proud of him. :)
If she can do what I thought was impossible there, she maybe could tell something about our dynamics watching us play.
I'm really not good at playing. :(
