More Years of Experience Won't Fix What's Actually Making You Doubt Yourself as a Play Therapist

I want to talk about something that a lot of play therapists are silently betting their entire career on — the idea that *more time and more experience* is what's going to eventually make them feel confident and capable in the play therapy room.

That one day they'll hit some magic number of years and the self-doubt will just... disappear. 

The second-guessing will stop. 

The anxiety before parent calls will go away. 

They'll finally feel like they know what they're doing.

And I want to lovingly, respectfully push back on that — because I think that belief is keeping a lot of really talented play therapists stuck for longer than they need to be.

During this week’s podcast episode, I want to talk about what we silently say in our minds and don’t dare talk about it for fear of judgment and rejection.

This week I want to talk about what are the beliefs and behaviors feeding the self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and second-guessing clinical decisions keeping amazing play therapists from achieving confidence.

If you’ve secretly thought experience is the only reason you’re lacking confidence as a play therapist, then you don’t want to miss this episode.
