If you work with kids and teens resistance is bound to show up in the playroom!  
 
Resistance comes in all forms - from refusal to leave the house, difficulty moving from the waiting room to the office, or the silent treatment once the session starts.

What if I told you that resistance has a story to tell?
That each time a child brings resistance into the playroom that there is a good reason and finding out this reason just might be the key to moving through resistance and working towards the healing they came to therapy in the first place for. 
 
I wanted to do a deep dive on some of the most common reasons for resistance in the playroom in an absolutely F R E E Mini Master Class!
 
Inside the FREE Mini Master Class: How Did We Get Here? Identifying The Root of Resistance in The Playroom you will:
  • Explore the four basic emotional needs
  • Identify how resistance can actually be a client attempting to meet a need 
  • Use the need the client is attempting to meet to help support a plan to working through resistance 

OH and if you haven’t already grab your free guide on the four basic needs HERE! 
 
Check out this FREE Mini Master Class on how to identify the root of resistance in the playroom to learn more! This training is bite sized (just 15 minutes) and can be slipped in between sessions or over your lunch!

Ann, I found your blog and resources a few weeks ago and I have been taking some mindful moments during no shows to digest these beautiful bite-sized pieces you give and gathering the freebies. I was able to do this mini training while doing the dishes...which was awesome for my multi-tasking high productivity need! Thank you for the content and I have gained so much already!
