I think of the book "Dib: In Search of Self" and "Play Therapy" by Axline, I think her name is, when you mention play therapy. Yes, it's usually done with kids. But, if you are dealing with the child parts of you, then it makes sense. When I wanted to fingerpaint, that was play therapy. Also coloring with markers, though I think toys like dolls are used in real play therapy.

I think as adults, we're not going to be able to let go enough to play with dolls. Is that what happened to you? Maybe something like fingerpainting or coloring would be a better means to the same end?
