Listen Later

How does ableism show up in the playroom, and what can we do to create a more inclusive therapeutic space? In this powerful episode, Marshall Lyles (LMFT-S, LPC-S, RPT-S, EMDRIA Approved Consultant) joins Lisa Dion to explore the often unspoken realities of ableism and disablism in play therapy.

Marshall, a leading voice in attachment trauma and sandtray therapy, brings invaluable insights into how therapists can become more aware of the biases and systemic structures that impact neurodivergent and disabled clients.

🔹 Uncover how ableism—both personal and institutional—has shaped the field of play therapy 🔹 Learn how to critically assess your playroom and therapeutic practices to ensure inclusivity 🔹 Explore ways to repair ruptures when unintentional harm occurs 🔹 Discover how to fully celebrate and honor the uniqueness of every client 🔹 Gain tools to reflect on your own biases and create a more welcoming therapeutic space

This is an invitation to deepen your awareness, challenge assumptions, and cultivate a play therapy practice that truly embraces all minds and bodies.

🌟 Tune in to transform your approach and foster a more inclusive, empowering space for your clients!
