22. Body-Based Intervention for Anxiety through A Sensory Emotional Lens
Anxiety is commonly treated with cognitive-based intervention. What if we told you that body-based intervention - in particular sensory Occupational Therapy - can treat anxiety, too?
Listen in to hear how sensory-motor play can help with your child’s anxiety.
In this episode you’ll discover:
How we can use movement and sensation experiences to impact change on emotions and how our kids feel
How can we help decrease anxiety through body-based, sensory motor intervention
How to reframe or change the feeling behind the thought to change the action/behavior resulting from it
