Synergetic Child Play Therapy (Denver)
What is Synergetic Child Play Therapy {SPT}?
SPT is a research-informed model of play therapy that combines attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and child development. The term “synergetic” refers to how different systems—child, therapist, and environment—interact in dynamic, self-organizing ways to promote healing. Based in Denver, Blank Canvas Counseling’s SPT sessions are geared towards helping your child.
Features of SPT
Regulation-focused: SPT emphasizes helping children learn to regulate their emotions and nervous systems through co-regulation with the therapist.
Therapist’s role: The therapist uses authentic emotional expression and attunement rather than interpretation or direction to help the child process emotions.
Body awareness: SPT integrates somatic awareness and mindfulness, encouraging children to notice physical sensations related to emotions.
Relational neuroscience: The model draws heavily on interpersonal neurobiology, recognizing the importance of the relationship between therapist and child as the primary agent of change.
Non-directive and expressive: It uses toys and expressive techniques, but the therapist follows the child’s lead while using their own internal state as a guide for intervention.
