Why This Guide Matters
Adolescents are in the middle of a major neurological remodel — pruning neural pathways, navigating identity formation, and feeling everything intensely. Talk therapy often stalls out here. Expressive arts meet them where their development is happening. The Be5 Framework helps you stay grounded, intentional, and attuned so your play therapy sessions feel purposeful instead of pressured.
Inside the Be5 Framework Guide, You’ll Find…
- A clear breakdown of the five “Be’s”
- Neuroscience + attachment foundations
- How to use expressive arts age-appropriately with teens
- Clinical cues to look for (breath shifts, pacing, rhythm, symbolism)
- How to approach play therapy sessions when teens resist, withdraw, or shut down
- Examples you can use immediately
