We tried a talk therapist who tried play and it was a disaster. I found a young, male therapist who does “in motion” counseling which is a modality of counseling where they play sports (mostly basketball or throwing the football) and chat. He really enjoys going and I think looks up to his therapist. He had some pretty bad negative self talk after a bad soccer loss and I mentioned it to his therapist, and they discussed it.
That sounds really interesting. Unfortunately nothing comes up when I search for "in motion" counseling in my area. I'll keep digging!
