Bite-sized chunks of deeply important and informative therapeutic goodness

I love this podcast. As a new intern I’m constantly learning, questioning myself, wondering if I’m ok, what can I do better, what do I do well, what can I do with this kid or that kid… and so in and so on. This podcast offers me that and so much more. Plus, as an intern I simply can’t afford every cool training in the book, so this helps augment my education without dipping into the grocery budget! I love that it’s not hour(s) long and I can listen while driving to work or doing a quick clean on the bathroom. Thanks lisa and team for offering this info for free!

Wishing all Play Therapy training was this good

The content is so rich and timely. I never fail To learn something new I could implement immediately into my practice. I don’t know how Lisa Dion got to be so smart about children and how to best work with them. I only wish all play therapy education was at this high level.

Helpful as a Parent & Somatic Practitioner

Lisa was one of the instructors for my Somatic certification program & her lecture was such a gift! I started listening to her podcast shortly after & it’s been so helpful. I’m not a Play Therapist, but I’m a parent & many of my coaching clients are parents so her teachings & language for the experience of the child & caregivers is so helpful. Thank you Lisa!

I just stumbled across this podcast and although I’ve only listened to a few episodes so far, I absolutely LOVE IT. The episode looking at what inspires us and how to make sure our lives our congruent with what inspires us has reignited my passion for play therapy. Thank you, Lisa!!
