243 | A Tidal Wave of Change: How CCPT is Transforming Lives Worldwide

In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I share a collection of inspiring emails from therapists, parents, and listeners who have fallen in love with child-centered play therapy (CCPT). These stories highlight the powerful transformations happening in children, families, and the play therapy community worldwide. From parents finding hope and connection with their children, to therapists passionately advocating for CCPT in their practice, these emails demonstrate how CCPT is creating meaningful change. I reflect on how children's mental health needs are greater than ever and how CCPT is becoming a tidal wave of support, healing, and growth. As we head into the new year, I hope these stories encourage and remind you of the incredible impact CCPT has, one therapeutic hour at a time. Together, we're changing the world, one child at a time.
