How neat that she has all the stuff in there to play with! Maybe you can ask her again- perhaps tell her that you know she needs time to be ready, too. You could do it bit by bit- maybe start in the chair while holding the anatomical doll. Even though I know the thought is a bit comical and absurd, you can tell her you know of a traditional (and quite eminent) psychoanalyst and middle-aged woman who have found their way safely to the floor!
I just read an article in Psychoanalytic Dialogues about what goes on in the play therapy of children suffering from PTSD- how valuable it is- and how it would be good if more adults got to do it.
