The Isolated Play Therapist Syndrome: Why You’re Feeling Burned Out

Send us Fan Mail

If you're a play therapist — especially in your first few years — and you're the only one in your agency or you're in private practice figuring this out by yourself, this is for you.

You went into this work because you genuinely believe in the power of play therapy to heal kids. You're passionate about this. 

You're not here because it was easy — you're here because it matters to you

And the reality is that you’re probably the only “kid therapist” in your agency or maybe you’re in private practice in an office surrounded by adult therapists asking you to keep the noise down in your office because it’s distracting their sessions.

In today’s free podcast episode we’re talking about what’s not being talked about out loud 👇

the cost of trying to be a play therapist without a strong community to support you and the impact this has on your clinical decision-making (and if we’re being honest - your own emotional well-being).

We’re discussing The Isolated Play Therapist Syndrome.

What it is and why it’s keeping your clients from making progress and leaving you feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing your clinical decisions, and wondering if you’re good enough.

If you’re feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and frustrated as a play therapist, then you don’t want to miss this episode.
