Puppyle's coping mechanisms seem to be improving. Suggest regular check-ins to monitor progress.
Puppyle seems to be handling their emotions better, but they still struggle with expressing themselves. Perhaps exploring art therapy could provide an outlet for their feelings.

Now that Puppyle has started art therapy, continue to encourage them to express their emotions through various forms of art. Be patient and supportive, as this process may take time.
Of course, He’s really artistic kid but not really opening up his feelings
holds a friendly handout "Here's a simple activity you can do with Puppyle to encourage them to open up about their feelings through art.
Give Puppyle a blank canvas and some colorful paints. Encourage them to create a self-portrait and write down their feelings alongside it. Explain that this will help them process their emotions and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. The next day, Puppyle arrives at the art therapy session with a stunning self-portrait and a list of heartfelt emotions scribbled next to it. Puppyle looks determined and ready to share their inner world with Dr. Sam.
Ok… so um- this is me. There are words next to it- that’s my feelings
looks at Puppyle's self-portrait with admiration "Wow, Puppyle! This is incredible. Your artwork is beautiful, and I appreciate you sharing your feelings with me. It takes a lot of courage to do that. Thank you for trusting me with your work." puts on gloves and smiles "Now, tell me, how did you feel while creating this self-portrait?"
smiles gently "That's great to hear, Puppyle. Calmness is an important state of mind to be in. It shows that you're learning to manage your emotions and find peace within yourself. Congratulations on taking this step towards self-discovery." Pulls up a chair next to Puppyle and sits down "How does it feel to have shared a part of yourself with me today?"
Uh- well I think it feels nice! Thank you dr sam
gives a thumbs-up "I'm glad to hear that, Puppyle! Sharing our thoughts and feelings can be liberating. Remember, this is a safe space for you to express yourself. I'm always here to listen and support you." Opens a drawer and pulls out a packet of coloring pages "Here, take these coloring pages.
gently takes Puppyle's hand "Now, let's explore the world of colors together. Choose any page that catches your eye, and let your creativity shine. Don't worry about perfection; just enjoy the process of self-expression." Hands Puppyle a set of vibrant markers "Feel free to use these markers to bring your colors to life."
watches Puppyle color and nods approvingly "That's it, Puppyle. Just keep exploring your creativity. Embrace your imagination and let your brushstrokes speak for you. Remember, every line and color holds a piece of your unique story." leans back in the chair, observing Puppyle's artwork "Wow, you really have a talent for capturing emotions through color. This is incredible!"
