| 0:00.0 | Hey Desirondlers, we have a special guest with us on the podcast, Kimberly Bartlett here to talk about play therapy, something that is very near and dear to my heart that I don't get to talk about very often and I think is important, of course for clinicians that work with kids to understand, but also I think for parents and all of us really because I think the principles can apply to adult life |
| 0:27.8 | activities so welcome to the podcast Kimberly. Thank you Kirk it's a pleasure to be here excited to chat about yes play therapy. |
| 0:35.3 | Yeah so you work from an office on Aurora on Highway 99 which is that way. |
| 0:43.0 | I'm pointing east, I guess, east, little southeast from here. |
| 0:48.0 | And I drive by your office all the time, |
| 0:52.0 | as most people that live in North Seattle probably do. |

| 1:36.0 | So those toys really end up being words that registered play therapist interpret and get a better picture of what's going on inside |
| 1:46.3 | and it also helps kids feel a little emotional distancing that makes it more comfortable |
| 1:52.4 | for them to express what's going on inside instead |
| 1:54.6 | of just having to come in on the couch and Kimberly this is the worst thing ever and this is |
| 1:58.6 | what's going on and they're just not there so we ultimately do that by inviting them into the playroom and |
| 2:05.1 | given them the playroom and then guiding them through depending if we're doing |
| 2:09.2 | the treatment or the assessment we may use some different strategies to do that. |
| 2:13.0 | Yeah, like a classic example is you have a death in the family, maybe a parent or a grandparent |
