Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week's interview features Lisa Dion, LPC, RPT-S. Lisa Dion, LPC, RPT-S, is an international teacher, creator of Synergetic Play Therapy, founder and President of the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute, co-founder of the Synergetic Education Institute, creator of the Business of Therapy and host of the Lessons from the Playroom podcast.

She is the author of Aggression in Play Therapy: A Neurobiological Approach for Integrating Intensity and is the 2015 recipient of the Association for Play Therapy’s Professional Education and Training Award of Excellence.

I heard Lisa speak last year in London and really appreciated her vibrant, interesting way of speaking about neuroscience and nervous system regulation; the developing brain, and trauma and attachment. That's what we talked about in this week's episode. Hope you'll find it thought-provoking!
