Why use a weighted cushion?
This stylish weighted cushion is a useful tool in counselling rooms, waiting rooms, home, office, hospitals and schools. As it is also a great addition to the room decor, the Weighted Cushion is also a 'natural' environmental sensory offering for clients.
Attending therapy sessions can be an anxiety provoking experience for many. In order to engage in the therapeutic process, clients must be able to engage meaningfully, which needs to start with being in a relatively 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 engaging in therapy (or waiting) can be a useful sensory tool to help relax and calm clients.
Also great in the home, the cushion can be used while watching TV, or just relaxing on the couch.
