Play Therapy (spaghetti) vs. Talk Therapy (waffles) : A Comparison

Episode summary

Often people assume that if talk therapy works with adults, it should work with kids, too. But have you ever asked your child a question about how they feel or why they did something and gotten, "I don't know" or a blank stare with a shrug? In this episode, I talk about how adults compartmentalize their lives into boxes. But children feel everything and their lives are a big tangle of emotions. I also explain how play therapy principles make sense to a child who isn't rational or logical. You will finally understand why kids need a different approach to dealing with their issues.
