Original Air Date: October 26, 2021

In this episode, Lisa Dion is joined by three important people in her life - Certified Synergetic Play Therapists/Providers Andrea Davidson (Colorado), Johanna Simmons (Vancouver, British Columbia), and Rachel Freeburg (Oregon). Together, they engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the various challenges that play therapists encounter in their practice.

Pause and reflect as they explore strategies for addressing common scenarios such as:

  • Children attempting to care for the therapist.
  • Challenges related to teletherapy sessions, including situations where clients do not turn on their screens.
  • Difficulties with transitions, such as reluctance to leave a parent's side or the playroom at the end of a session.

Discover surprising insights and practical solutions as these experienced therapists share their wisdom and expertise. Join us for a candid conversation that sheds light on navigating the complexities of play therapy with connection to self and others.
