What if the most powerful therapy for a traumatized child isn’t talking… it’s PLAY?In this episode, two leading child therapists (Kalila Robinson, PhD & Sarah Gerstenzang, LCSW) reveal the science-backed, play-based strategies they use with foster, adopted, and developmentally traumatized kids that actually rewire the brain for safety, trust, and resilience.You’ll discover:

  • The hidden difference between “big T” trauma and everyday upsets (most parents get this wrong)
  • Why some kids throw the ball too hard, sabotage games, or can’t attach — and the simple fix
  • The exact play techniques that calm a dysregulated nervous system in minutes
  • How to turn everyday moments (baking, fishing, even unloading the dishwasher) into deep healing
  • The #1 mistake adoptive/foster parents make that keeps kids stuck (and how to avoid it)
  • Why “over-protecting” your child can accidentally make trauma worse
