Big Movements for Big Feelers.
Does your child have a tendency to go zero-to-sixty when they get frustrated? Do they struggle to find the right words when they are angry, often defaulting to physical outbursts, shutting down, or getting stuck in conflict loops?
When the nervous system is overwhelmed, simply talking about feelings isn't enough. Anger and frustration live in the body. If you are looking for a safe, structured space for your child to physically process their emotions and learn real-time regulation skills, they are ready to step into the action.
Is your kiddo easily frustrated? Is it hard for them to get over small things?

Welcome to Fight! Feel! Flourish!, an action-oriented group designed by the expressive therapists at Capital Children’s Wellness Center.
Using drama therapy, embodiment exercises, and somatic play, this group leans directly into the messy emotions. Instead of telling kids to "calm down," we teach them how to safely externalize and channel their intensity.
Fight!
The Activation.
We use safe, contained sociodrama and movement games to let kids express their anger, boundary-setting, and high-energy impulses without judgment.
Feel!
The Processing.
Once the physical energy is channeled, we guide the group in identifying the vulnerable feelings (like sadness, fear, or embarrassment) living underneath the frustration.
Flourish!
The Integration.
Group members practice "do-overs" and role-play new, healthier ways to advocate for themselves, negotiate with peers, and regulate their nervous systems in daily life.
