In this episode, Lisa dives into the sensitive topic of death and dying as it appears in the playroom, offering guidance and practical insights for therapists. She addresses common questions, such as:
- What role does death & dying play have for children in the therapeutic space?
- How can we remain grounded and present when a child explores these themes?
- How do we embrace vulnerability and stay connected to ourselves, even in discomfort, to support the child's integration?
Lisa provides strategies to help therapists approach these experiences with compassion, presence, and openness.
