What a treat it was to introduce future play therapists to the principles of SPT.
Last week, Lisa virtually joined the students of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s Play Therapy Graduate Program and shared SPT’s core principles, theoretical foundations, and practical applications. So many great questions! So much great energy! Do you remember when you first learned about SPT and how it felt?
