Through silliness, personas, and intentional play, he shows how therapists—and parents—can lower emotional walls and create safety, even during tough moments.This episode is a grounded, honest look at how play therapy works beneath the surface—and how adults can model vulnerability, flexibility, and connection to support kids’ emotional growth.
