Listen Later

What makes working with parents and caregivers feel smooth—or challenging—in play therapy? In this insightful episode, Lisa Dion explores three distinct types of relationships that shape our interactions with parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process. Understanding these dynamics can transform your approach, helping you create deeper, more conscious relationships that honor both you as a therapist and the parents you support.

🔹 Discover the three types of relationships that influence every interaction in and beyond the playroom 🔹 Learn how these relationship dynamics shape your work with parents and caregivers 🔹 Uncover why certain parent-therapist relationships feel more challenging than others 🔹 Find out how to create a space where parents feel safe to show up authentically 🔹 Explore how these relationships impact your nervous system—and what you can do to stay regulated

By recognizing and navigating these relationship patterns, you’ll develop a new level of connection and attunement in your work with parents and caregivers.

🌟 Tune in to shift your perspective and create stronger, more supportive therapeutic relationships!
