17 | Reflective Responding In Play Therapy

In this episode, I go into more detail on the reflecting responding skill used by child-centered play therapists. Reflecting responding consists of: reflecting feelings, reflecting content, and tracking behavior. I walk you through examples of each of these skills, as well as, how and when to use each in a play session.   Podcast HQ: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com Email me: brenna@thekidcounselor.com   References: Cochran, N., Nordling, W., & Cochran, J.
