On today’s episode of the Small Town Social Workers podcast, we’re joined by a special guest, Christina Marsh, to explore play therapy, including what it is, why play is so important in a child’s emotional development, and how it differs from traditional talk therapy. We’ll discuss what play therapy can look like across different age groups, the role parents and caregivers play in the therapeutic process, common misconceptions, and ways caregivers can support children throughout their healing journey. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or simply curious about children’s mental health, this episode highlights how play can foster connection, communication, resilience, and growth.
