Why is attunement the heart of the therapeutic relationship? In this episode, Lisa Dion explores why simply following a script or checklist in play therapy isn't enough—true transformation happens when we deeply attune to our clients (and ourselves).
🔹 Discover what attunement is—and what it's not
🔹 Uncover the biggest barriers to attunement in the playroom
🔹 Learn how to create an experience where clients feel emotionally and energetically met
🔹 Gain insights on explaining the felt-sense of attunement to parents and caregivers
Lisa also shares a powerful moment from a play therapy training, illustrating how attunement can reveal critical insights that might otherwise be missed. Whether you're a therapist or a parent, this conversation will deepen your ability to connect, co-regulate, and create meaningful therapeutic exchanges.
🌟 Tune in to transform your sessions and foster deeper, more authentic client connections!
