Playful Parenting Podcast
Playful Parenting is the newest season of Play Time made for those who are looking to parent in a different way than they were parented and who could use some support in figuring out what that looks like. Season 1 of this podcast is called 'Play Time' and while it has parenting content, many of the episodes are also about Child-Centered Play Therapy and other topics related to the mental health of children. Season 2 of the podcast is dedicated exclusively to exploring parenting. Andrew is a father and play therapist who lives in Asheville, North Carolina who is likely currently stewing over how to create a more child respectful world.

Episode 56
On this episode, we contrast using the diagnostic language of complexes rather than disorders, and dive into viewing and treating children as if they are possessed by something inside of them, in contrast to seeing them as inherently damaged or disordered, and how we can use the wisdom of spiritual traditions who have worked with the 'possessed' in our work with children.
