The last several years of neuroscience research has shown mental health professionals how to better understand the role of autonomic nervous system and interpersonal neurobiology.


It’s provided a wealth of information to understand the importance of creating a safe healing space for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.


Children cannot establish a connection with play therapists unless they first experience safety within the therapeutic relationship and in the playroom.


How do you help children activate their social engagement circuits so they can engage in the play therapy change process?
