What is Imposter Syndrome in Play Therapy?

Next Level Play Therapy: A Podcast for Play Therapy Excellence

If you’re a play therapist, especially new to play therapy, I’m going to share a secret with you.

You may not believe me when I tell you this.

If you feel like a fraud using play therapy …

If you feel overwhelmed and struggling with thoughts that you suck using play therapy and that your clients are probably suffering because of your incompetence …

This is likely a lie your brain is telling you. 🤯

It’s called Imposter Syndrome.

Every play therapist I’ve ever worked with to learn play therapy feels this way.

Yep! You’re not the only one who feels like an imposter.

I promise!

And, the likelihood that you actually suck using play therapy is pretty slim.

I know - I can hear you thinking that I’m wrong because you’re pretty sure you’re a terrible play therapist.
