You decided to listen to today's episode. Carly and Sarah bring you our last episode (unless you're requesting more??) to discuss two very important skills in play therapy--Returning Responsibility and Limit Setting. These skills can also be used in other aspects of your life, not just play! We give examples involving roommates, bar fights, and even possibly teachers.
