  • Summary

  • **While unlikely, due to the relatively innocuous subject, there still remains a small chance of being triggered simply by imagining oneself as a child. If you have severe attachment disturbance, only do this with a professional present**


    When we play, as children, we are expressing ourselves. We have yet to cultivate the skill to articulate our nuanced selves to the world, yet it is crucial for the development of attachment security. In this exercise, Dr. Zack uses the concept of an "ideal play place" to co-create a number of secure scenarios in the play context. Patients report having an easier time exploring in their lives as adults as a result of this particular practice. Hobbies, interests, jobs, people... your one precious life in this one precious moment..... is you new ideal play place. Imagine that.
