Childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on mental health and well-being, but addressing it in therapy requires a careful and compassionate approach. In this episode, child psychologist, Conni Lutes, shares her unique strategies on working with young children who may be experiencing behavior issues or challenges related to autism. Your host, Dr. Lia Gaggino and Conni discuss the importance of using language and creative outlets, such as art and play therapy, to help kids express themselves and make progress. By taking these steps, practitioners can help children feel heard and supported. By creating a safe and comfortable environment and meeting children where they are, therapists can help children process their trauma and move towards healing.
