First Play Therapy
Are you wondering how to get the most out of attending a conference?
The truth is, the people who get the most of conferences are those that build relationships. No, that doesn't mean shoving your business card into a hundred people's hands- but it does mean having meaningful conversations with people and really getting to know them.
If you are introvert- look for people who you can go out for coffee or lunch with and have a good 1:1 conversation. If you are an extrovert- make sure you temper yourself so you can slow down and enjoy the individual people.
Today we are going to introduce you to another professional we met at the Annual Play Therapy Conference in Houston. Janet Courtney, Phd is passionate about children's play. She has developed amazing books and trainings programs for parents and clinicians about First Play.
We talk with her about teaching parents healthy touch, the fears that clinicians have about talking about touch in play therapy, and more.

It is a great story of how therapists are going beyond the couch into multiple streams of income and taking their message to a wider audience.

Oh, and sweet Janet sent me home with one of her books to check out- I got home, spent time with my family and by the time I woke up the next morning my son had read her book! I asked him how we liked it- and he said he did- but said "you are supposed to do it with me mom!" So, there you are, 7yo approved!
