Like Kiya, *I* often play games with T in therapy. In my case, DID is involved and she is almost exclusively playing with littles. Basically at these times she IS doing therapy with children...they just happen to be in an adult body. However, I firmly believe that everyone has at least one "inner child", and that inner child is wounded in many cases. In DID those inner children are very separate and defined...in a person who is not DID, they are less separate and defined, but still there. It sounds to me like there is a "little earthmama" that has some needs. I think sitting on the floor and playing some games with T is a great way to nurture "little earthmama" and perhaps meet those needs.

I also think that knitting is definitely great self-nurturing and a type of art therapy for some people...for me it's an exercise in frustration though! You might consider taking some knitting to T with you, knit away as you talk...you might be amazed at how productive the session is.
