251 | Becoming a Person of Impact: Beyond the Playroom in 2025
Listen to this episode
Episode summary
In this special "live" episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I reflect on the concept of impact and how we, as child-centered play therapists, can think beyond our immediate work to make a broader difference. While the therapeutic relationship with each child is profoundly impactful, I challenge listeners to consider how their influence can extend to their communities, the field of play therapy, and even globally. I share personal stories and practical strategies for setting big goals, breaking them into manageable steps, and maintaining motivation to achieve meaningful impact.
As we step into 2025, I encourage you to see yourself as a person of impact and to align your professional and personal goals with the positive changes you want to see in the world. From creating programs for underserved populations to transforming educational systems with CCPT principles, your potential to make a difference is limitless—if you take the first step and stay consistent.
