In this exciting episode, Lisa is joined by the extraordinary Terry Kottman, founder of Adlerian Play Therapy, to explore the heart and soul of this impactful therapeutic approach. Known for her fun, engaging style and groundbreaking contributions to play therapy, Terry shares her wisdom, humor, and deep insights into how therapists can elevate their practice.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to bring more of yourself into your sessions to create authentic connections;
• Tips for custom-designing sessions to meet the unique needs of each client;
• Ways to deepen your client’s self-awareness (… and what it means to “spit in the client’s soup”);
• Strategies for navigating therapeutic work when the process doesn’t follow clear-cut phases; and
• Insights into attuning not only to your client but to their entire treatment process—an advanced “meta-attunement” approach.

🎧 Tune in to be inspired by Terry’s brilliance, practical advice, and her ability to re-energize your passion for play therapy. Prepare to feel jazzed about your work and ready to embrace new possibilities in your sessions! ✨
