The field of Play Therapy can feel confusing. You might attend one training or read a foundational text that says one thing—only to hear the complete opposite from another expert.
As play therapists, we’re often pulled in many directions, which can leave us searching for the “right” answers. In my post about 5 Myths About Working With Kids We Need to Leave Behind I tackled the top myths that keep child and teen therapists stuck - and honestly? I wasn’t done. Play Therapy is full of little myths that sneak into our brains, shape the way we work, and sometimes make us second-guess ourselves.

How often do you recommend journaling in your practice for teens?
Journaling can be an amazing and introspective practice and through this expression of self major benefits follow like boosting mood, managing stress, and lowering anxiety and depression. Journaling also has other amazing benefits like improving immune function and helping with memory. 
Notes are one of the never ending conveyor belt tasks of a therapist. Like laundry, wiping counters that never seem to stay clean (at least in my house with a 5 year old), or sorting all those random paper piles that just seem to spring up out of nowhere.
Just how long does it take you to write a progress note?
5 minutes? 15 minutes? 20 or more? For me? Just under 3 minutes. Done and done. |
