Why Pandora Box Play Therapy?
Metaphor from a Greek myth: Pandora was given a “forbidden box” which was not supposed to be opened. She was really curious about it thus she tried ways to open the box. What came out of the box was all the bad things like sickness, worries, crimes, hate, envy and more. Pandora felt very sorry that she had opened the box. She tried to catch all the bad things and put them back but it was too late. While Pandora sat there crying, the very last thing to fly out of the box was Hope.
“Pandora box is just like our unconscious mind where we store our anger, fears, sorrows and pain. By releasing it and dealing with it, we will then be able to see the hope that lies right underneath the box.”
Thank you Nica Foo from Amplify Point for this interview. As I talk about it, it makes me realized that indeed, it was not easy for a 18 year old.

Thank you Nicole Kay from The Tapestry Project SG for giving me the opportunity to share about my play journey 😊 Prevention is always better than cure. Don't be afraid to take that one step to seek alternatives to help ourselves. I stepped out to seek help from play therapy as a prevention and it really comes in handy when I needed it during the later part of my life. At one point or another, we will encounter difficulties here and there, what we need may just be a little help from the mental health professionals so we can cope and move on.
