Why use a weighted cushion?
This stylish weighted cushion is a great addition to therapy or counselling rooms, or for waiting rooms. As it is also used as part of the room decor, it is a 'natural' sensory offering for clients. Also great in the home, the cushion can be used while watching TV, or just relaxing on the couch.
Attending therapy sessions can be an anxiety provoking experience for many. In order to engage in the therapeutic process, clients must be able to enage meaningfully, which needs to start with being a realtively calm state.
Psychologists/counsellors/therapists etc. all recognise the benefit of having sensory equipment easily accessible to help keep clients calm and focused in order to engage in talking therapy. Using a readily available weighted cushion on the lap while engaing in therapy (or waiting) can be a useful sensory tool to help relax and calm clients.
