Listen now
Description
How do I know what’s happening in my clients’ play therapy sessions? How do I know what’s important to notice and what’s not important in play therapy sessions? How do I know what my clients’ behaviors in play therapy sessions mean? These are often the questions asked by new play therapists.   Anyone new to play therapy will have asked these questions at some point when learning to use play therapy with their young clients. There’s a deeper level of learning needed underlying these questions to develop competency understanding play behavior and themes in play therapy sessions.
