This next Lessons from the Playroom guest gave Lisa the most amazing surprise when she jumped on - it filled Lisa with so much joy, delight and an urge to connect … And this is totally what they’re talking about today - how to captivate, engage, be with (along with what to do), and create a playful connection with your child clients during the initial play therapy session.

- Knowing when a child is engaging and what to do if they’re feeling anxious or struggling to connect;
- How to bring your play techniques, ideas and activities to life in an attuned way for your clients; and
- The significance of “being with” your client in order to facilitate “the doing” aspects of a play therapy session
