<p>This book offers innovative strategies for healing children through movement and play with multicultural, multiracial, and genderfluid considerations.</p><p>Dynamic movement and body-centered play therapy techniques and tools provide children with a language and outlet to speak their deep truths in the interest of healing from symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and the inability to sustain attention. Focusing on social, emotional, and relational growth, the author chronicles young people's heroic journeys, searching for identity and safety amid fast-moving currents of societal and familial change. Linking the search for generative power to expressive freedom, chapters explore issues ranging from impulsive/explosive behavior, perfectionism and OCD, childhood fears, family-rooted anxiety, and child-parent connection through a range of in-person and live online video tele-sessions.</p><p>Practitioners who work with children, such as psychotherapists, marriage and family therapists, somatic therapists, and play therapists, plus teachers and parents, will embrace this warmly voiced combination of immersive case studies and cutting-edge practical applications.</p>
