To me, learning Play Therapy opened a wide life knowledge which interconnected with mental health necessary for everyone. I was the first batch participant of Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play Skills program. What i learned turned to be greatly different from previous programs that i participated in. It was amazing when my educational background and my age – i am currently 76 years old, and came from an unrelated field of study- are taken into consideration, since people my age would be reluctant to learn what i learned. Yet, i am so thankful to have taken this chance.

The classroom environment eased me to understand the materials, because the materials themselves are directly applicable. I am currently taking part in practice program, which involved 100 hours directly with children, in order to get certified. This requires me to be professional and responsible at the same time, since i will assist children to help thmselves; it is important to not letting any children go unhelped. This program also includes an equally professional supervision.

During sessions of Play Therapy, i was so excited to know that every children possessed their own uniqueness, which is influenced by many things, that led into various emotional, behavioural, social, and mental disorders. Play Therapy, in turn, helped myself to heal with things left unfinished from very long time. I felt grateful that i still have a chance to help kids healing themselves and to keep myself contributing for others, despite my advanced age. Seeing kids that i helped now be able to speak for themselves, either for their parents, society, even for the nation and the country added more value to my life.

The need for more professional Play Therapy practitioners is huge indeed. Let’s embrace this chance and join the Play Therapy Indonesia which is now the member of PTI (Play Therapy International).

I inspired by the song by Lighthouse family…”I wish I could know how it feel to be free” 🗽

This is a little words from me about Play Therapy….

“no words can express how I feel

seeing a beautiful soul is free

ready to climb up the hill

With the trust that God is here”

The beautiful thing I found in Play Therapy….less words need to say because the heart speak thousands words in silence, yet it can rebuild broken connection with the self (and God) and thus the self was beautifully moving and dancing in such an order that only the self can understand…to find a way to be free and to be what she suppose to be….

Play Therapy is the key to unlock the chain that keeping my soul in bondage for years…and I believe it helps other in the same way too….

Di course kita belajar to reflect and follow the energy and movement dari client. Waktu practice dengan client, saya tidak mengira atau bahkan tidak pernah terlintas bahwa hal ini yang membangun hubungan kita dengan client. Relationship dengan client sangat amat penting karena menjadi landasan bagaimana session session berikut akan berkembang.

Yang luar biasa adalah mengalami dan merasakan perubahan energi dan perasaan pada saat special time dan pada saat merefleksikan hal tersebut dengan supervisor, saya dapat mengerti dan melihat connection antara perasaan yg saya alami dan client.

Pernah sangat terharu dan amazed dengan client sewaktu ending di session 12, dimana client bermain sesuatu dimana tool itu menjadi tool pertama yang membangun hubungan dia dengan saya.

Course ini bukan hanya memberikan ilmu pengetahuan dan praktek. Tapi terlebih, memahami diri kita, kekuatan dan kelemahan kita..perjalanan hidup kita dan bisa mengubah hidup kita
