Maybe you’ve secretly thought that you aren’t cut out to be a play therapist because you’re terrible at it.

At some point in your learning journey to help your clients heal using play therapy, you’ve probably felt lost, overwhelmed, and frustrated.

Typically, you’re imposter syndrome kicks it and can leave you feeling like you aren’t helping your clients and you worry that you may actually be making things worse.

Or - you feel lost and overwhelmed thinking that you need to convince parents that play therapy is actually working 👇
