We’re diving into a question that lives rent-free in the minds of even the most seasoned play therapists:
“Is this actually working?”
If you’ve ever left a session wondering if you’re making a difference… or if your client just built a Lego spaceship and peace’d out… you’re so not alone.
This week we’re going to explore the real signs that play therapy is working—even when you can’t always see the change yet.
We live in a world that loves quick fixes and measurable results.
But healing through play isn’t always linear. Sometimes it looks like a breakthrough.
Sometimes it looks like silence.
And sometimes… It looks like sand flying across the room while you wonder if you're gonna have time to clean that up before your next play therapy session.
So let’s bust the myth that progress = constant smiling and textbook style play therapy sessions where everything goes perfectly as planned.
Instead, let’s talk about the subtle, powerful signs that healing is happening under the surface.
