Episode summary

Listener, Yanna, emailed me with a scenario... she is seeing a child that acts like a puppy all session and she was wondering how I would handle that. I actually have a client right now that is doing that! So this was a timely question. In this episode, I discuss the following topics: How to respond, staying true to CCPT principles Identifying the "why" for the behavior How to elicit feedback from the child (staying true CCPT) so you can engage with the child and continue in the child's play How to preserve the relationship with unconditional acceptance
