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 50
On this episode, we discuss healing and growth in terms of being a spiral in contract to a closed circle, and aim to challenge the concept of linear growth and hold up the idea that growth is a circular process, and that what we are looking for is what are often small and subtle differences when children cycle back towards difficult feelings and behaviors.
