Episode 34- The Children Who Grow Us: How the playroom shapes the CCPT therapist.

In this episode of the Play Therapy Circle Podcast, Kylie explores how child-centred play therapy doesn’t just transform the children we work with, it also transforms us as therapists.Drawing on her experiences in the playroom, Kylie reflects on the profound lessons children teach us about authenticity, emotional courage, and the power of simply being present. She shares how the therapeutic relationship, rather than technique alone, creates healing, and why learning to trust the process, tolerate uncertainty, and sit with big emotions is central to effective play therapy.This episode is an invitation for play therapists to reflect on their own journeys: the children who have shaped them, the growth that happens alongside their clients, and the deep privilege of holding space for young people’s stories.Whether you’re new to play therapy or years into practice, this conversation offers encouragement, insight, and a reminder that the work changes us too.
