"It isn't about being a parent or not. It's about showing up in the playroom and being real." – Lisa Dion

Being both a parent and a play therapist comes with unique insights—but it doesn't automatically provide all the answers in the playroom. In this episode, Lisa explores the benefits and challenges of navigating these dual roles, highlighting why every parent—and every child—is different.

Tune in to discover:

  • How parenthood can inform your work with children
  • Why having children doesn't equal having all the answers in therapy
  • Ways to show up authentically in the playroom, regardless of your parenting experience

This episode is a thoughtful exploration of balancing personal and professional perspectives, helping therapists connect more deeply with the children they serve.
