146 | 6 Takeaways from "Filial Therapy Using Child Parent Relationship Therapy"
Play Therapy Podcast: A Master-Class in Child-Centered Play Therapy
In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I continue the discussion into the child-centered filial approach within play therapy. I recently conducted a filial CEU course, and I want to share the insights I learned from participant feedback. I identified six key takeaways, offering valuable perspectives for integrating CPRT (Child-Centered Play Therapy) into practice. Highlights include the importance of vetting parents for suitability, clarifying that CPRT is distinct from couples counseling, and emphasizing the effectiveness of CPRT based on shared principles with CPT. I talk about the potential pitfalls of combining CCPT and CPRT simultaneously, the heightened impact of parent involvement, and the structured framework CPRT provides for empowering parents.

I felt like I was back in grad school. 42 00:02:13,789 --> 00:02:15,740 I was like, oh man, I didn't think I'd ever do this again, 43 00:02:16,259 --> 00:02:20,220 but I pulled together all of the responses into six, 44 00:02:20,539 --> 00:02:22,240 what I consider to be 45 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,750 summarized 46 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:26,440 topics that people said that they benefited from. 47 00:02:26,539 --> 00:02:29,800 So I want to spend a little bit of time working through those with you because 48 00:02:30,259 --> 00:02:32,639 I think that speaks to what you all are looking 49 00:02:32,649 --> 00:02:36,589 for and what you want when you're trying to integrate CPRT 50 00:02:36,699 --> 00:02:41,059 into your CCPT practice.

So 20 years, half my life. 86 00:04:32,529 --> 00:04:35,500 So it feels like my whole life, but only since 2005, 87 00:04:35,799 --> 00:04:39,260 I've been doing it so long. It has only ever been a 88 00:04:39,559 --> 00:04:42,950 parent coaching model for me. It has only ever been 89 00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:45,390 a child-centered play therapy based 90 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,540 help for parents. 91 00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,260 But I suppose from the outside looking in, 92 00:04:50,269 --> 00:04:53,950 if you think of it as this is something that you offer to parents, 93 00:04:54,029 --> 00:04:57,100 maybe it could be confused with a couple's counseling approach. 94 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:58,720 So I thought that was very interesting. 95 00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:01,700 And one of the things that we talked about in the training 96 00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:02,929 is that 97 00:05:03,149 --> 00:05:05,940 one of the things that you vet for is 98 00:05:06,869 --> 00:05:11,410 if the parents are in some kind of marital conflict, marital chaos, 99 00:05:11,799 --> 00:05:13,809 marital dispute, of any kind, 100 00:05:14,630 --> 00:05:18,890 that can be a huge barrier to facilitating CPRT easily 101 00:05:19,329 --> 00:05:23,089 because they will try to turn it into a couple's counseling session. 102 00:05:23,609 --> 00:05:26,910 So you're meeting with them and you're supposed to be going over CPRT content 103 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,570 and they're arguing about. 104 00:05:29,070 --> 00:05:30,059 Lord knows what. 105 00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:34,179 And so that is something that you have to be pretty purposeful about 106 00:05:34,649 --> 00:05:38,500 is making sure that not only you stick to the curriculum and you 107 00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:43,369 redirect all of that marital dispute nonsense that sometimes you have to deal with 108 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,929 when you're working with a couple. 109 00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:48,230 But also that you make sure that that's not 110 00:05:48,359 --> 00:05:51,130 the intention or that's not going to be the 111 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,470 focus of your work with a couple. 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,959 If all they do is fight and all they do is have marital issues 113 00:05:57,089 --> 00:05:58,880 and everything becomes a spat, 114 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,299 they're probably not going to be a good fit for CPRT because the focus is the child, 115 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:05,820 not their relationship 116 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,660 and you have to be very upfront and blunt about that 117 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,200 and redirect them back to the child over and over again. 118 00:06:13,209 --> 00:06:14,690 If you're dealing with a couple that 119 00:06:14,829 --> 00:06:18,140 is kind of in a state of disharmony in their marriage. 120 00:06:18,589 --> 00:06:19,540 Ok. Third 121 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:21,540 take away for people 122 00:06:21,679 --> 00:06:23,739 is and I loved this, my gosh. 123 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:26,209 So basically the summary was 124 00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:29,350 if you believe that CCPT works 125 00:06:30,109 --> 00:06:30,779 which 126 00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:34,279 Lord willing and the creek don't rise. So we all do, right. 127 00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:36,440 So CCPT works, 128 00:06:36,619 --> 00:06:38,799 we believe it, we know it, we trust it. 129 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:41,420 There's data that supports that on and on right. 130 00:06:42,049 --> 00:06:42,750 Then 131 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,109 we can also know that CPRT will work 132 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,279 because it's the same exact principles. 133 00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,390 It's just extending that knowledge to parents. 134 00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:55,489 So that parents can start using the same skills that we use. 135 00:06:56,649 --> 00:07:03,750 So really cool takeaway that CCPT works and therefore, CPRT will work 136 00:07:04,119 --> 00:07:08,470 that just made me smile and it's true. I've seen CPRT work 137 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,750 over and over and over again over the course of 20 years, 138 00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,480 just like I've seen child-centered play therapy work 139 00:07:14,489 --> 00:07:16,140 over and over again throughout the years. 140 00:07:16,299 --> 00:07:20,820 So there's no fear in offering this, that this is not going to be effective. 141 00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:24,940 It's absolutely effective because child-centered play therapy is effective 142 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,880 and it's based on the exact same principles. So that was a really cool takeaway. 143 00:07:29,119 --> 00:07:30,390 Number four, 144 00:07:31,089 --> 00:07:34,750 you never want to give CCPT. 145 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:37,720 In other words, as you're working with a child 146 00:07:38,190 --> 00:07:39,600 as a play therapist, 147 00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:44,170 you never want to offer that in conjunction with CPRT, 148 00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:48,609 where the parents then start doing play sessions with their children at home. 149 00:07:49,429 --> 00:07:52,529 And that was a really, that was a consistent takeaway. 150 00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:56,529 Many, many people acknowledge that in the feedback from the course. 151 00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:58,929 And we talked a lot about 152 00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:01,089 it's overwhelming for a child 153 00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,589 to do an hour play session with you each week 154 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,709 and then a 30 minute play session with a parent. 155 00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,059 It's, 156 00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:11,829 and, and I'm air quoting because this is like a fake word, but it's over therapizing 157 00:08:12,089 --> 00:08:12,709 the child. 158 00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:17,239 So we definitely would never want to continue to work 159 00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:19,209 with a child if we started with play therapy. 160 00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:22,290 And then we realized that CPRT would be a better fit, 161 00:08:22,859 --> 00:08:27,950 we would transition out of play sessions and into the parent taking over. 162 00:08:28,410 --> 00:08:32,960 So then the parent begins play sessions when we stop sessions 163 00:08:33,169 --> 00:08:35,919 because it would be way too much for the child 164 00:08:35,929 --> 00:08:38,679 to have to do two play sessions each week. 165 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,580 All right. 166 00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:42,099 Fifth takeaway, 167 00:08:43,058 --> 00:08:44,929 the apparent impact 168 00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:47,869 is so much greater 169 00:08:48,169 --> 00:08:51,890 and therefore parent involvement is that much more important. 170 00:08:52,510 --> 00:08:53,469 In other words, 171 00:08:53,570 --> 00:08:56,349 we know statistically and practically 172 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,130 that when parents are involved, 173 00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:03,330 the outcomes of child-centered play therapy have greater outcomes and it's 174 00:09:03,659 --> 00:09:05,090 more effective. 175 00:09:05,729 --> 00:09:07,830 So to involve parents, 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,729 there's a longer lasting impact, 177 00:09:10,739 --> 00:09:14,929 there's broader scope of change and healing that takes place. 178 00:09:15,049 --> 00:09:19,020 It influences the whole family dynamic, not just the one child, 179 00:09:19,409 --> 00:09:21,830 because it focuses on the relationship 180 00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:23,500 just like we do, right? 181 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,590 It focuses on the relationship between the parent and the child. 182 00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:29,979 So therefore, everything is exponentially better 183 00:09:30,429 --> 00:09:33,330 and we have much greater impact and outcomes 184 00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:36,359 than therapists working exclusively with the child. 185 00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:37,599 So 186 00:09:37,780 --> 00:09:42,580 that's one of our main reasons why we would offer and suggest CPRT 187 00:09:43,330 --> 00:09:48,340 because we know that it is more effective to have a parent do it than for us to do it. 188 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,349 And it's interesting, I've had therapists balk at that notion. 189 00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:55,070 And 190 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,619 I think it's driven by the idea that, 191 00:09:58,750 --> 00:09:59,500 well, 192 00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:01,500 we are gonna be out of a job. 193 00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:06,059 If we just keep coaching parents to do this, if parents can do what we do, 194 00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:10,000 then you know, we won't have clients and we're basically 195 00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:12,609 making ourselves obsolete. If you will. 196 00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:15,159 First of all, I live 197 00:10:15,549 --> 00:10:17,469 and breathe by the abundance mindset. 198 00:10:17,479 --> 00:10:20,340 I believe that there is always enough in the world 199 00:10:20,349 --> 00:10:24,820 to support anything that needs to be provided or consumed. 200 00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:25,539 So 201 00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:26,919 if 202 00:10:27,130 --> 00:10:30,059 we are able to equip certain parents to do 203 00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:32,659 CCPT with their children through the CPRT model, 204 00:10:33,309 --> 00:10:36,320 that doesn't mean we won't have other children that will still come do play 205 00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:40,320 therapy with us because the parents are unwilling or unable to do CPRT. 206 00:10:40,869 --> 00:10:42,760 So I never have this fear that 207 00:10:43,179 --> 00:10:45,719 if I train a whole bunch of parents to do what I do, 208 00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:48,039 I won't have any parents that will bring their kids to me. 209 00:10:48,049 --> 00:10:50,919 I think abundance mindset says there's always enough for everyone. 210 00:10:51,609 --> 00:10:53,419 But I also think that 211 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,390 we're not in competition with parents, we're in collaboration with parents. 212 00:10:58,109 --> 00:11:02,140 So the more we can get them involved, whether they're doing CPRT or not, 213 00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:05,940 even if we're working with their child, we still have to equip them with knowledge. 214 00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:10,780 We still have to psychoeducate, we still have to give them tips and skills and, 215 00:11:10,789 --> 00:11:14,510 and practical application tools so that they can support 216 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,119 the work that we're doing in the playroom. 217 00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:19,429 They need to be involved as much as possible, 218 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,710 whether that's just through consultations or whether that's through CPRT, 219 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:25,309 we want them involved. 220 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,640 And that was a big takeaway for the participants, which I was happy about that. 221 00:11:29,140 --> 00:11:30,349 And then finally, 222 00:11:30,719 --> 00:11:36,349 the final takeaway was that CPRT provided a structure and a framework 223 00:11:36,659 --> 00:11:37,869 for parents. 224 00:11:38,289 --> 00:11:39,830 And that's one of my favorite things about it. 225 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,299 I actually talked about that in the training on Friday. 226 00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:46,650 I feel like many of the other parenting programs out there, 227 00:11:47,669 --> 00:11:49,609 they are skill based only 228 00:11:50,099 --> 00:11:54,809 and it's kind of hypothetical, topical situational. 229 00:11:55,179 --> 00:11:58,200 When your child does this, you do this and when this happens, 230 00:11:58,210 --> 00:11:59,809 here's your intervention and whatever, 231 00:12:00,210 --> 00:12:05,609 but there's no undergirding framework. There's no supporting structure 232 00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:10,440 that says you have something you can always fall back on 233 00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:12,869 no matter what the scenario is. 234 00:12:12,890 --> 00:12:19,049 You know exactly how to handle it because you have this basis of knowledge 235 00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:20,710 that then 236 00:12:20,849 --> 00:12:24,690 you go back to number one, the relationship is paramount. 237 00:12:24,789 --> 00:12:29,200 Number two, I have all of these rules of thumb that I've learned that help me with 238 00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:30,710 situational 239 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,039 support. 240 00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:35,599 So when a child is drowning, it's not the time to teach them to swim. 241 00:12:35,929 --> 00:12:40,390 Sometimes you just have to be quiet when a child's really emotional. 242 00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,159 And if you can't say it in 10 words or less, don't say it. 243 00:12:43,169 --> 00:12:45,280 Sometimes we need to stop talking. 244 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,049 Focus on the doughnut, 245 00:12:47,059 --> 00:12:51,390 not the hole. Who we have in the relationship with our child is 246 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,260 far more important than what we wish were different about the child. 247 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,150 So then you have all of those principles and foundational tenets 248 00:12:59,239 --> 00:13:01,239 and then you have the skills on top of it. 249 00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:05,250 So then we have the four pillars and then we have the way that we actually interact, 250 00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:07,140 the phrases and the skills and all of that. 251 00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:07,530 So, 252 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,659 CPRT, in my opinion is effective because it provides 253 00:13:13,349 --> 00:13:18,830 some structure and some consistency for parents so that they are not always just 254 00:13:19,059 --> 00:13:23,099 throwing something out there in any given moment, hoping that it's going to work. 255 00:13:23,429 --> 00:13:25,429 There's no hodgepodge approach to this. 256 00:13:25,609 --> 00:13:28,239 CPRT is very curriculum driven 257 00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:34,450 and the content is drip fed on purpose so that what you learn at the beginning 258 00:13:34,669 --> 00:13:37,010 is built upon the further you go 259 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,409 and then it all gels together and you have this really effective 260 00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:42,539 tool kit 261 00:13:42,849 --> 00:13:44,630 at your disposal as a parent 262 00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:49,729 that allows you to handle any situation with your child, not only currently, 263 00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:55,049 but for the rest of your parenting journey, even into adulthood with them, 264 00:13:55,869 --> 00:13:57,729 you never forget these skills. 265 00:13:57,739 --> 00:14:00,580 You never can get to a point where you don't need to use them anymore. 266 00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:05,799 So parents will have the long reaching impact of this as well 267 00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,530 so that they are always able to interact with 268 00:14:08,539 --> 00:14:11,599 their kids in a really effective and appropriate way. 269 00:14:12,570 --> 00:14:15,950 So huge. Thank you to everyone that attended the training and 270 00:14:16,059 --> 00:14:20,450 I'm hopeful that that is helpful to you as we're diving through this filial section 271 00:14:20,719 --> 00:14:22,150 as part of our curriculum. 272 00:14:22,429 --> 00:14:27,619 We really need to not only understand why it works and the value of it and all of that, 273 00:14:27,630 --> 00:14:30,450 but also things to consider. 274 00:14:30,460 --> 00:14:33,530 And I think these six that everyone walked away with 275 00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:37,559 were certainly very helpful for me to help you all with 276 00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:39,789 what you need to be considering if you're ready 277 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,969 to offer CPRT as a service to your community. 278 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,109 So hope that's helpful for you all.
