The Trainee Play Therapist Diaries

My Journey into Play Therapy

This episode is a little more personal. I’m sharing my own journey into play therapy and how I ended up here. I talk about my own history and experiences and why this path feels so important to me. I share the ups and downs of training, self-doubt, growth and hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s an honest episode about self discovery and taking the leap!
