Cover Story: This study measured the heart rate of a child who had experienced multiple ACEs, during 16 child-centered play therapy (CCPT) sessions, using the Empatica (E4) wristband. Bayesian change point analysis was conducted, and multiple changes in the heart rate mean were detected and identified within each session’s time series. Additionally, changes in heart rate variability during the 16 sessions were observed, and points of interest, e.g., the highest and lowest observed heart rates, were noted. The results indicated the number of breakpoints in the heart rate means within each session, as well as the location, i.e., the time of each breakpoint, so that each significantly detectable change in heart rate mean, as well as sessions of noted differences in heart rate variability, were discussed alongside what was occurring within the video-recorded sessions.
