About this episode
“Humans need humans. We need relationships in order for us to survive in this world.” In this episode, play therapist Clair Mellenthin shares her attachment-centered approach to play therapy that fosters child-led, systemic healing. From maximizing safety and security to reframing play as an attachment need, Mellenthin shows how change happens when parents are invited into the playroom — becoming resources, partners, and safe bases for their children. Brought to you by Psychotherapy.net, the home of timeless and timely conversations in mental health.
