How often do you show up for a directive play therapy session and your mind goes *blank*? All of your ahh-mazing, fun and creative interventions go out the window.
Kind of like when you are planning your meals for the week and your brain tells you that you have never cooked a day in your life.

In one of my first ever psychology classes the professor said something that was so mind blowing that it has stuck with me for my entire career and is something that I often share with clients.
So just what exactly was this wise and sage concept? Becoming Active in Your Mental Health: One Simple Metaphor to Increase Engagement in Play Therapy9/13/2023 
I loooooove a good metaphor.
And it’s funny to hear stories of my childhood and that expressing myself through metaphor was something that has always been a part of my life waaayyy before I became a play therapist! 
If you tell me you are a play therapist, you are telling me very little about what you actually do in session with kids. Sure, there are only ten seminal and historically significant theories of play therapy (at this time!), BUT there are 20+ theories of play therapy in our field and I suspect this number will only grow!
