Lessons from the Playroom Special: Medical Trauma in Play Therapy
Original Air Date: July 17, 2019
Medical trauma can be prevalent for many children who have undergone medical procedures or experienced chronic and acute conditions. And it can show up in the playroom in a variety of ways, including in ways that can lead the therapist to jump to conclusions.
Listen in to explore how to not only help children who have experienced this type of trauma but how to minimize future trauma as well.
"One of the best ways to reduce medical trauma is by making the unknown known. Children need information and lots of it." - Lisa Dion
