Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 48- Dr Jodi Mullen Joins the Circle
Q: How have you seen the field evolve since you started practicing?
There is now a wealth of information and a growing audience for play therapy, with clearer fidelity to the model and more recognition of the need for theory-driven practice.
Episode 46- Back to Basics: Reflecting Feelings PLUS Listener Question!
Q: Are there and what are the flow and effects of COVID on the development of children born after COVID?
There is compelling evidence of continued family stress transmission after the pandemic, affecting post-COVID babies through dysregulated home environments, reduced social supports, and maternal mental health challenges. These children may require the same relational, regulation-focused, trauma-informed approaches as earlier cohorts, and long-term studies are needed to fully understand generational effects.
Episode 43- Back to Basics PLUS Listener Question Answered
Q: Terri asks, can we take the idea of people pleasing, neediness, or giving commands or being silent in relation to Bruce Lipton's theory of child development and use reflective responding to go deeper without compromising the relationship?
Terri's question is explored by tying Lipton's ideas about early relational learning to tracking: respond with facilitative reflections that validate feelings, acknowledge unmet needs, and build autonomy and self-direction, while avoiding over-interpretation and maintaining safety and trust first. Practical examples include reflecting on the child's need for safety, offering unconditional positive regard, and sizing interpretations to the pace of the child, ensuring not to rush the second-stage meaning until the relationship foundation is strong.
