Hi,
I’m Johanna and I live in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I was introduced to Synergetic Play Therapy when the British Columbia Play Therapy Association held a conference and Lisa was one of the presenters. That was in 2014. I embarked on the SPT journey in 2017(I think) and have not looked back since. I am now an SPT supervisor.
SPT has changed not only the way I work but also the way I live. It has deepened my connection to myself and helped me discover myself. It has deepened my connection to others and enriched these relationships.
These days, I am supporting parents instead of working directly with their children, and providing parents with a new way to view their children and their behaviours (through an SPT lens). The positive responses from the parents and the positive changes that they see in their children is amazing. Parents now feel confident and empowered in parenting their children. I wish I had had this information when I parented my children!
I’m glad this forum exists and thank you Kim for being the voice behind this platform.
