Emotion Centre is a welcoming, quiet, screen-free nook for book lovers of all ages. Emerging out of the yearsof experience that the psychotherapists at Family Tree have in working with children and their parents, we invite you to attend to your emotional internal world through stories and pictures.
Often, this process of focusing and a slower pace is calming and enlivening, especially in today’s digital world where our attention span is drastically shrinking. If you are a parent and would like to help your child develop a reading habit, or you would like to have time with your child away from digital devices (including your own), this is the place to be.
We reach out to books for many reasons:
To learn something
To feel something
To avoid feeling something
To fill up time
To laugh
Want to raise HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL kids?
‘WAIT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO GIVE THEM A PHONE', says a Yale expert Laurie Santos.
At Emotion Centre, the booksare curated and catalogued by emotional themes, not by author reading age ortitle.
Emotion Centre also offers brief therapeutic work through the use of stories with children under 11 years of age. We work with a lowsliding fee scale and offer individual psychotherapy for children.
