My research from 'CBT for Kids' led me to look more into CBPT. I liked the physical, creative approach that is integrated into therapy sessions. This isn't necessarily found in CBT alone, which is structured using a more question-answer back and forth conversation method.
"Cognitive-behavioural play therapy combines cognitive and behavioural theories within a play therapy model. CBPT is a developmentally sensitive therapeutic approach to cognitive and behavioural therapies. Through the use of play, therapy is carried out in a non-threatening and indirect style. It is brief, time-limited, structured, directive, problem-oriented, and educational. In cognitive-behavioural play therapy, the therapist enters into the play world and gains the acceptance of the child. Once that happens, the therapist begins to gently guide the play. The toys are used to model different reactions and teach the child new ways of thinking. CBPT uses materials and settings such as sand, puppets, live animals, action figures, dolls and games as well as nature walks and baking. Therapy is conducted individually as well as in group settings."
