Play Therapy
Today Moo had his second session of Play therapy. His Therapist's name is Mimi and when I told him, "We're going to play with Mimi," it registered, but he *also* heard, "We're going to play with Minnie," and when we were done with Therapy asked when were going to see Minnie Mouse.
Anyway. After the first session I thought it was a bunch of hooey because we just played trains. But then I reminded myself that it was a process, not an event and this week I think we really made progress. We still played trains, but he was able to act out separation feelings and togetherness feelings with them, it was a fascinating thing to watch. We also looked at pictures of Shiny and he started articulating his feelings about her not being here. Then he saw a baby doll and said, "That's Adelle Shayna. Adelle Shayna's alone on her bed." I wanted him to explain, but he just started pointing stuff out in the room. Anyway, I'll have a phone conference with Mimi later in the week to sort it all out. I feel like it's going in a good direction. I feel like our relationship has improved over the last week and so has his sleep, so maybe it is worth the steep copay.
