This is exactly the kind of play therapy podcast we need in this emerging field! Incredible resource. One star lost due to the low sound quality - please consider changing your mic or editing software, it’s really out of balance and hard to listen to when the interviewer and interviewee are at different volumes. I would listen and recommend this every week, if you fixed the sound issues!
Lisa I don’t know how you do it but you always release a episode that I really need to hear!!! Such a great podcast series <3
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.

I love that it’s not hour(s) long and I can listen while driving to work or doing a quick clean on... more
This show is so helpful and grounding. I listen to it before i start my sessions to ‘get in the zone’ thanks Lisa!!
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.
