45. Dueling Parents - Managing High Conflict Divorce in Play Therapy


Listen Later

"Play therapy is about the child. It's not about navigating the conflict between feuding parents." - Lisa Dion

Divorce is often painted as a traumatizing experience, but what it looks like through the perspective of a child varies greatly. Working with high-conflict divorce requires recognizing this deviation. It also requires a neutrality and a focus on what matters most: healing the child.
