Play Therapy Podcast with Dr. Brenna Hicks

In today’s episode, I dive into the importance of being attuned and mindful in our play therapy sessions. Today I’m reading from the book A practical handbook for building the play therapy relationship. by Giordano, Landreth and Jones, I discuss how subtle things we do as therapists can inadvertently make a child feel that something is wrong.
From the way we reflect content to the tone and expressions we use, every interaction matters. It’s crucial that we align our responses with the child’s play and emotions. When we effectively mirror their feelings and validate their experiences, we help them gain a better understanding of themselves.
While we may be using child-centered skills, subtle nuances in delivery can have unintended negative effects. I encourage you to be mindful of your reflections, tone, and expressions in your play therapy sessions. By being genuinely attuned, you create the opportunity for the child to benefit from child-centered play therapy.
