Introduction to the Foundations of Child-Centered Play Therapy

This is the first of a six part series from a FAPT conference workshop. These next six podcasts are a pre-cursor to the content in future episodes. In this first part, I give an introduction, tell my story about how I got into play therapy, introduce the Child-Centered Play Therapy Model, and then I give a short history of child-centered play therapy.   Download the slides PDF here: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com/fapt   Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com Email me: brenna@thekidcounselor.com
