This week we’re reflecting on the work of #DonaldWinnicott, a British paediatrician and psychoanalyst whose ideas continue to sit at the very heart of #PlayTherapy.
Winnicott reminds us that when a child feels safe enough to play, they are safe enough to begin to heal.

It is in playing
and only in playing
that the individual child or adult
is able to be creative and to use the whole personality,
and it is only in
being creative
that the individual
discovers the self.
- #DonaldWinnicott, 'Playing and Reality'

“To be creative a person must exist and have a feeling of existing, not in conscious awareness, but as a basic place to operate from. Creativity then is the doing that arises out of being. It indicates that he who is, is alive.”
