This is a
special episode of the Play Therapy Parenting Podcast. I was
invited to give a training/presentation to the 300, or so, school
and guidance counselors from the Hillsborough County School System
on Play Therapy techniques. So during this hour training, they were
exposed to the philosophies and principles of play therapy, the "4
Pillars of Play Therapy", and then some bonus topics, including the
impact excessive device use is having on kids today. [parts of
