What can neuroscience tell us about creating a strong therapeutic relationship that allows our clients to feel safe during the change process? 🤔 Congruence in play therapy is the ability to align our internal experiences with our external expressions of unconditional positive regard and empathy. Our resonance circuits, as termed by Daniel Siegel in his book Mindsight, discusses the role of resonance circuitry when connecting in sessions with clients to facilitate change. Learning to use these key elements to facilitate healing in play therapy is a core competency in play therapy. This includes working with parents so they can be the therapeutic agents of change for their children.
