Child-Centered Play Therapy And Parental Stress: Supporting Parents Through The Process With Sandy Stillo And Amber Bailey

Parental conflict, stress, anxiety, and depression increase child misbehavior and acting out. If we can help decrease this, we can better help the parents help the child. Dr. Sandy Stillo, LPC-S, CHST, and Mrs. Amber Bailey, MS, LMFT, LPC, CHST from The Counseling Spot are child therapists who believe in the power of intentional parent-centered consultation during the process of child-centered play therapy. Although child-centered play therapy is led by the child, the relationship between the therapist and the parents is just as important as their relationship with the child. In this episode, they sit down with Althea T. Simpson to emphasize the importance of consistent, standalone parent consultation sessions to allow for targeted work with parents. What is more, they also discuss the struggles mothers face when it comes to “mommy guilt,” going deep into the issues in mom-shaming as they compare themselves to their ideas of the ideal mother and how this affects the child in the process.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the Chronicles of A Play Therapist Community today:unicornlifetraining.netTwitterFacebook [email protected]
