    The power of vulnerability
    Apr 30 2023
    In this episode, we dive deep into the power of vulnerability. It's no secret that vulnerability is often seen as a weakness, something to be avoided or hidden. However, we believe that vulnerability can be a source of great strength and transformation. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open ourselves up to new experiences, deeper connections, and greater emotional intimacy. We discuss the ways in which vulnerability can help us to confront our fears, heal past traumas, and cultivate empathy and compassion for ourselves and others. We also examine the societal and cultural factors that contribute to the stigma around vulnerability, and offer practical tips and strategies for embracing vulnerability in our daily lives. Whether you're someone who struggles with vulnerability or someone who wants to deepen their understanding of this powerful concept, this episode will provide insights and inspiration for embracing your true self and living a more authentic life. So, join us as we explore the power of vulnerability and discover how it can transform your life.

    The power of teenage dreaming
    Mar 31 2023
    In this episode, we explore the power of teenage dreaming and the importance of play therapy in supporting teenagers during these formative years. We all know that the teenage years can be challenging and full of transitions. Adolescents are trying to discover their identity, figure out their place in the world, and plan for their future. These can be daunting tasks, but we believe that dreams and play can help. By exploring their imagination, teenagers can tap into their innermost desires, hopes, and aspirations. Play therapy is a powerful tool that can help teenagers process difficult emotions, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. It can also provide a safe space for teenagers to express themselves without fear of judgment or ridicule. Join us as we discuss the benefits of play therapy for teenagers and beyond, and how it can support their growth and development. Whether you're a parent, educator, or teenager yourself, this episode will provide insights and inspiration for navigating the teenage years with grace and resilience.
