Supporting ‘Fizzing Minds’ with Play Therapy.
Imagine your mind as a fizzy drink, with bubbles of thoughts rising and fading as you process them. Now picture that same drink after a challenging journey—filled with ups and downs and sudden jolts. Perhaps it was dropped, turned upside down, or shaken by the uncertainty of what lies ahead. The bubbles multiply, trapped with no way to escape.
The concept of ‘Fizzing Minds’® emerged during my teaching career, inspired by how children experiencing emotional dysregulation were often described by staff to be ‘fizzing’. This term supported children to acknowledge their emotions and process the situation easier and led to a greater reflection on how it is not just the child themselves whose mind ‘fizzes’ during times of change, uncertainty and emotional fog but those around the child too. Parents, family members, teachers, staff and peers are all affected. Fizzing Minds Therapeutic services aims to support ‘therapeutic fizzing’ in a non-judgemental and supportive environment, so that thoughts, worries and emotional difficulties have a safe space to be processed.
We are here to support all. Whether that be in clinical sessions, offering advice or providing respite from the classroom.
How do I explain play therapy to a child?
Engaging in open discussions with your child is essential for the success of therapy, as it enhances their understanding and fosters a sense of empowerment. The child-friendly information booklet below offers everything they need to feel safe and confident, helping them prepare for the beginning of their therapeutic journey.
