In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I continue the discussion into the child-centered filial approach within play therapy. I recently conducted a filial CEU course, and I want to share the insights I learned from participant feedback. I identified six key takeaways, offering valuable perspectives for integrating CPRT (Child-Centered Play Therapy) into practice. Highlights include the importance of vetting parents for suitability, clarifying that CPRT is distinct from couples counseling, and emphasizing the effectiveness of CPRT based on shared principles with CPT. I talk about the potential pitfalls of combining CCPT and CPRT simultaneously, the heightened impact of parent involvement, and the structured framework CPRT provides for empowering parents.   Ask Me Questions:  Call ‪(813) 812-5525‬, or email: [email protected] Brenna's CCPT Hub: https://www.playtherapynow.com CCPT Collective (online community exclusively for CCPTs): https://ccptcollective.com Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com APT Approved Play Therapy CE courses: https://childcenteredtraining.com Twitter: @thekidcounselor   https://twitter.com/thekidcounselor Facebook: https://facebook.com/playtherapypodcast   References: Cochran, N., Nordling, W., & Cochran, J.
