Lessons from the Playroom

Special: When a Child Doesn't Speak in the Playroom


Listen Later

Original Air Date: November 13, 2017

A child’s refusal to speak inside the playroom can leave even the most seasoned therapist flustered. But connecting with clients involves much more than words. Silence can be golden when you know what it means and how to harness it. Join Lisa and find out how supporting a child in their healing process doesn't have to require words. 

"It's the child really feeling that you're with them that heals them most. Sometimes, that just doesn't require words." - Lisa Dion
