Is play therapy working for your client, or are you stuck in the "I don't know if this is helping" loop?
In this free weekly podcast episode for play therapists and child and adolescent therapists, you'll learn 4 practical ways to tell if play therapy is working and what to do when nothing seems to help.
You've tried the play therapy activity books, searched Pinterest for play therapy ideas, and used what you learned at your last play therapy training.
Your supervisor was supportive, but they don't practice play therapy. If you're worried you're failing your client, this podcast is for you.
In this episode you'll learn:
✅ How to revisit your case conceptualization and ground yourself in your play therapy model
✅ Why safety and therapeutic rapport come before insight, and how to check your expectations
✅ How to get useful feedback from parents, caregivers, and the child
✅ Why play therapy consultation helps you see what's happening in the playroom
For play therapists and child and adolescent therapists at any stage of their play therapy journey. Join my free webinar, How to Provide Play Therapy Without Second-Guessing Yourself, Even With Complex Cases.
We'll focus on building the confidence to trust your clinical decisions, even when a case gets complicated.
