Lessons from the Playroom

133. The Challenges of Working with Parents & Caregivers


Listen Later

This time Lisa has again invited two very important people in her life to join her. Two Certified Synergetic Play Therapists both residing in Canada – Helen Ritchie and Kristina Dixon.

Join them in this conversation about working through the challenges and dilemmas that we sometimes have as therapists when working with the parents/caregivers.

Find out:

  • Why working with parents and caregivers can be more challenging than working just with our child clients.
  • How to overcome some of the biggest challenges therapists have when working with parents/caregivers.
  • How to bring a parent/caregiver into a team approach in the therapeutic process.
  • How to support the parent/caregiver with implementing strategies in the home that might help the child client (including what to do when the parent/caregiver says, "I tried that, and it didn't work" or "that won't work for my child").

This podcast episode honors parents/caregivers and will open your heart around being in a therapy process together when helping your child clients heal.
