This space holds a collection of written reflections from Rain & Me. Children’s Therapy.

These pieces sit alongside the therapeutic work and are shaped by the same way of listening — to children, to relationship, to place, and to the wider living world we move within. They are offered as places to pause, to wander, and to sit with questions that arise in caring for children and families.

The writing here is not intended to teach, instruct, or offer answers. It moves slowly, staying close to lived experience and to what is noticed in practice — moments of connection, uncertainty, regulation, dysregulation, creativity, and care.

Across these reflections, you may find gentle threads around:

• emotions as meaningful experiences rather than problems to fix

• nervous system responses as adaptive and shaped by context

• children’s behaviours as communication arising within relationship, place, and environment

• art therapy as a way of making room for expression, presence, and meaning

• the importance of feeling safe enough to be oneself

Some pieces are grounded more explicitly in research and theory; others are quieter and more reflective. All are written from within a relational, neuroaffirmative, and ecologically attentive practice.

These resources are here for parents, caregivers, educators, and practitioners who feel drawn to slower ways of thinking about children — ways that value listening over urgency, relationship over control, and care over correction.

You’re welcome to enter this space gently. To read what calls to you, to return when it feels right, or to simply let a piece sit with you for a while. Nothing here needs to be taken up or applied. It is enough to notice, reflect, and stay curious.

These reflections are not therapeutic interventions and are not a substitute for counselling or art therapy sessions.
