  • How do children heal from trauma? Play therapy and trauma expert, Paris Goodyear-Brown, takes us on a journey through the stories of children from hard places, the neuroscience of play, and the importance of each of us in bearing witness to the hurt. Graphic images may evoke strong emotions but will reveal the amazing ability of children to tell us what happened and play their way to healing. Paris Goodyear-Brown, LCSW, RPT-S, is a child trauma expert and a professional player with 23 years of experience in helping traumatized children and their families heal. She is the founder and Clinical Director of Nurture House, serves the Association for Play Therapy in several roles, is a sought-after international speaker and a prolific author. With specialties areas in sexual abuse, maltreatment, and attachment repair, her trauma model is best explained in her books "Play Therapy with Traumatized Children: A Prescriptive Approach," "Tackling Touchy Subjects," and her newest book "Taming the Trauma with Children and Families" (in press). Her hope for hurt children is best communicated in her children’s book A Safe Circle for Little U. Paris lives in Franklin, Tennessee with her husband and three children, and to balance the weight of holding the hard stories of those in her care she likes to drive her yellow jeep with the doors off whenever the weather allows. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    So true! My young son broke his arm when I was not there. I remember the relieve when I asked him after he came out of hospital to tell everything that happened to a little giraffe that I spoke through. It was amazing how he told this little animal all details, from what happened to how he felt. It was play, so free of possible judgements and worries from mom :-)

      OMG, this gave me a memory of a student I worked with: I tutor neurodivergent learners and this kiddo was struggling to learn to read. He would come in so dysregulated. One day, he did not want any of me, so I started making jokes to make him laugh and he went over to my dog (I had a dog I brought to my private practice office), got down on his knees and whispered in her ear, "She's funny." It's like my hear HURT from the tenderness of it. We had a good session after that. You're a good parent!

    Paris thank you, so Inspirational!!, I am living in a country where play therapy is still in the pregnancy stage. Nevertheless, I was trained in Uruguay and 20 years ago in that little far away country I worked with play therapy within school frameworks.
    For the last 18 years, since relocating from Uruguay to New Zealand, a beautiful 1st world country, I have been dealing with professional frustation as the psychology and psychotherapy proffession here does not integrate play therapy as main stream modality.
    Watching your video motivated me to keep up my work and hope for play therapy to take off as an incredible transformational tool for children and people with intellectual disability.
