Discover a fresh, engaging way to guide emotional growth with Motus Auctus, an innovative counseling tool designed for hybrid play therapy. Derived from the Latin phrase for “emotion growth,” Motus Auctus helps counselors and parents introduce, model, and explore emotions in a way that feels natural, interactive, and even fun.

Motus Auctus creates a bridge between play and meaningful conversation, allowing children and teens to express themselves without the pressure that often comes with direct or heavy discussions. By shifting the focus from talking at a child to engaging with them, it reduces resistance and opens the door for deeper emotional awareness and connection.

This versatile tool goes beyond conversation. Motus Auctus can be used to visually track emotions shared during sessions, monitor progress over time, reinforce positive behaviors such as completed chores, and even serve as a structured session timer by adding a ring at set intervals, such as every five minutes.

Whether used in the counseling room or at home, Motus Auctus supports emotional regulation, builds communication skills, and encourages consistent growth in a way that feels approachable and empowering.
