This episode is a little longer than your commute to work or your lunch break - but it an important one not to miss. Join Kylie as she explores the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of child-centered play therapy and why building trust, safety, and connection with children, especially when rapport doesn’t come instantly, is more crucial to therapeutic outcomes than any specific technique. Kylie discusses the elements of this relationships such as following the child’s lead, being authentic, and fostering relationships not only with the child but also with parents and caregivers, as these relationships are essential for creating a safe, supportive space for healing and growth.
