In episode #24 we are continuing with the "principles" of play therapy topics. The principle "Feelings Are Always Valid, Even If The Behavior Is Not Acceptable" connects with reflective responding (the first of the "4 Pillars" of play therapy), and is essential to understand in the context of the play room.

In this episode, I do a deep dive into an aspect of "why" you reflectively respond (track behavior, reflect feelings, reflect content). I discuss three outcomes that should give you a better understanding of the principle behind reflective responding, and a goal for why you're doing it in the playroom.

2022/12/19

Another "Principle of Play Therapy"... "If You Know Enough To Ask A Question, Then You Know Enough To Make A Statement." Questions put children in their heads, but children live in their hearts. How do we reflectively respond without asking questions? This principle is the answer to that question. Making statements, vs asking questions, is a critical skill that every child-centered play therapist needs to master.
