3 | Why Play Therapy? Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I move from "Why Play?" into specifically why play therapy works so well for kids. I encourage you to get the book Child-Centered Play Therapy by Rise VanFleet, et al, as well as foundational, Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship by Garry Landreth. Many of the topics I discuss from these books, as well as stories, examples, and case studies from my practice. Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com Email me: brenna@thekidcounselor.com

2 | Why Play? Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we start with the fundamental question, why play? I know there may be seasoned play therapists that listen to this, but whether you are new to play therapy, or experienced, we start our journey into play therapy explaining why play is critical to the well-being of kids. There's something in this episode for everyone, so let's start with play, and then in the next episode we'll focus in on "Why Play Therapy?"
