Somatic Experiential Play Therapy (SEPT) utilizes play based metaphor and somatic tracking to support a child’s nervous system in therapeutic, child-directed, experiential play. SEPT is rooted in Somatic Experiencing created by Peter Levine and Experiential Play Therapy created by Byron Norton.

The integration of these two theories creates a fantastic mechanism for change that allows children to use their natural language, play, to find healing within.

 Video Intervention Therapy (VIT) helps patients better to understand, and to change, how they interact with others.

With the therapist’s support, the patient looks at a video of herself interacting with someone else.  What she, and the other, do with their bodies is reflected upon.  What they say with words is also reflected upon.  Body techniques may be also used to deepen the exploration.
