In this episode, I delve into the challenging theme of sexual behaviors directed at the therapist in play therapy sessions. This difficult subject can manifest in various ways, from sexualized contact to exhibitionism or attempts to view the therapist's body. I discuss the potential meanings behind these behaviors, including a need to test trust, seek approval, or mimic learned actions from exposure to inappropriate content. It's crucial to approach this issue with caution, understanding that such behaviors may not always indicate abuse but require careful observation and documentation. While setting clear boundaries is essential, it's equally important to maintain unconditional love and acceptance for the child. Navigating these situations with sensitivity and a focus on the child's emotional well-being is key.   Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com Play Therapy Training HQ: https://www.playtherapynow.com APT Approved Play Therapy CE courses: https://childcenteredtraining.com Email me: [email protected] Follow me on Twitter: @thekidcounselor   https://twitter.com/thekidcounselor   References: Cochran, N., Nordling, W., & Cochran, J.
