256: Infant Mental Health with Dr. Janet Courtney

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In this week's episode, Laura continues her 2 part interview with Dr Janet Courtney, a play therapist and author of several books including, "Healing Child and Family Trauma through Expressive and Play Therapies: Art, Nature, Storytelling, Body and Mindfulness." In this episode, Janet talks about a subject that most therapists did not learn about in school, and which is Janet's speciality: infant mental health. Listen in to this fascinating conversation, sparked by listener requests for more information on therapy with children. All of us were once children and this conversation is very thought-provoking, even if you're neither a parent nor a therapist. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, TherapyNotes.
