In this episode, we finally begin a series on themes in the playroom. I've been getting emails and feedback that so many of you wanted this content, so I'm glad we've finally made it! Within themes, there are categories of themes. Power and aggression are one of the major categories we'll start with. First, within the power and aggression category is Good vs Bad. In addition to an overview of this theme, I will be discussing the following points:
- The reconciling of good vs bad
- Self-identity work
- People-pleasing component to the play
