74 | Defying Opposition: Unveiling the Potential of Child-Centered Play Therapy for ODD
Season 1
Episode 74
Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
Listener Cheryl emailed me with the following question: "How does a child with Oppositional Defiance Disorder heal through CCPT? I have one child I'm seeing that seems to have these symptoms, and so I have recently started CCPT with him, and it seems he is expressing more anger in his play each time (battles with ninja guys). He was very tentative at first, and now he can use the word dead."
In this episode, I discuss the following topics related to child-centered play therapy and how children diagnosed with ODD heal:
- Self-control and self-regulation
- The "power shift" that takes place during play sessions
- Internal locus of control
- The four universal outcomes of play therapy
