This therapy also allows them to become aware of any difficulties and empowers them to use appropriate techniques and make good choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When parents get involved in this process, it provides them with a sense of empowerment and achievement. I teach the parents the necessary skills through guidance and tips, and by using Filial Therapy or Child-Parent Relationship Therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through commitment and involvement, children and parents alike will benefit from the progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EMDR<\/strong> is a neuro-therapeutic approach working on internal conflict caused by past trauma. Using a technique called Bilateral Stimulation, the \u201cAdaptive Information Processing System\u201d is activated, which moves the negative stored information to an adaptive and healthy position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalparenting.co.za\/pt\/play-therapy\/\">Click to read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testimonials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class='white' style='background:rgba(0,0,0,0); border:solid 0px rgba(0,0,0,0); border-radius:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;'>\n<div id='slider_436' class='owl-carousel sa_owl_theme owl-pagination-true autohide-arrows' data-slider-id='slider_436' style='visibility:hidden;'>\n<div id='slider_436_slide01' class='sa_hover_container' style='padding:5% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 242, 204); '><p>\u201cAs most people know COVID-19 has implicated your children\u2019s therapy sessions the last month or so, lucky Natacha has come up with a great solution, she offers online sessions that are easily done via what\u2019s app or Skype.<br \/>Rein has never met Natacha personally but has done a few online sessions with her, and really enjoys them very much, this morning he asked if he could please speak to \u201ctannie Natacha\u201d again.

He started seeing Natacha at her practice for his play therapy sessions on a weekly basis and we could really see an improvement in how he was learning to cope with his anxiety and fears.<br \/>When the COVID-19 pandemic started in South-Africa and the following lock-down period, we were worried about the interruption to his therapy. For a child suffering from anxiety and fear, a COVID-19 pandemic is one of his worst nightmares! We then decided to attempt an online session with Natacha via Zoom.<br \/>Being a boy of 10, he loves technology and meeting Natacha through ZOOM is one of his highlights of the week. He can now continue with his therapy uninterrupted. While the session is in his own room, he can show Natacha his toys and him being in his environment makes him more comfortable and the therapy fruitful.<br \/>One of our biggest concerns, when the COVID-19 is over, is how he will cope with the new \u201cnormal\u201d and then possible increase in anxiety levels. These online sessions are helping him prepare for just that.<\/p>\r\n<h4>- Mom of a 10-year-old boy struggling with anxiety and fears<\/h4><\/div>\n<div id='slider_436_slide04' class='sa_hover_container' style='padding:5% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 242, 204); '><p>Natacha was very helpful when I had a zoom online session with her.
