Have you ever felt like you’re lost and not sure what to do when you’re providing play therapy?


Maybe you’ve secretly thought that you aren’t cut out to be a play therapist because you’re terrible at it.


At some point in your learning journey to help your clients heal using play therapy, you’ve probably felt lost, overwhelmed, and frustrated.


Typically, you’re imposter syndrome kicks it and can leave you feeling like you aren’t helping your clients and you worry that you may actually be making things worse.


Or - you feel lost and overwhelmed thinking that you need to convince parents that play therapy is actually working 👇


And this only adds more stress because your imposter syndrome is in high gear which makes you feel even more lost and confused about what to do and how to show parents that you know what you’re doing.


You are not alone.  Anyone who has ever gone before you to learn how to help children heal using play therapy has experienced all of these emotions.


Heck! Even experienced play therapists feel overwhelmed sometimes.


If this is you, then join me for this free weekly podcast, I’ll discuss how to recognize when you are lost using play therapy and some tips for what to do to get back on track.
