Synergetic Play Therapy is celebrating 15 years 🎉 (... and Lisa is also celebrating her birthday this week 🥳) … And it's a perfect time to reflect on this amazing field of play therapy that we're all a part of including where we started as a field and where we're headed (.... yes, there will be a bit of predicting the future happening 🚀✨).

Join Lisa as she talks about the journey of the mental health field at large and how that has influenced the play therapy field … how we started with a focus on changing behaviors… then moving more deeply into an appreciation for the body and its importance in the healing process … the influence of neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, and the Polyvagal Theory … a greater understanding of the role of the therapist and the therapist's contribution to the healing process (... you are the most important toy in the playroom after all 💕) … and where Lisa thinks we're headed as a field (hint: it has to do with the role of mind and perception and science).
