243 | A Tidal Wave of Change: How CCPT is Transforming Lives Worldwide

Play Therapy Podcast: A Master-Class in Child-Centered Play Therapy

In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I share a collection of inspiring emails from therapists, parents, and listeners who have fallen in love with child-centered play therapy (CCPT). These stories highlight the powerful transformations happening in children, families, and the play therapy community worldwide. From parents finding hope and connection with their children, to therapists passionately advocating for CCPT in their practice, these emails demonstrate how CCPT is creating meaningful change. I reflect on how children's mental health needs are greater than ever and how CCPT is becoming a tidal wave of support, healing, and growth. As we head into the new year, I hope these stories encourage and remind you of the incredible impact CCPT has, one therapeutic hour at a time. Together, we're changing the world, one child at a time.

00:00:00,439 --> 00:00:04,320
You're listening to the Play Therapy Podcast with Dr. Brenna Hicks,

1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,189
your source for centered and focused play therapy coaching.

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:08,640
Hi,

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,760
I'm Dr. Brenna Hicks,

4
00:00:09,770 --> 00:00:10,520
The Kid Counselor.

5
00:00:10,619 --> 00:00:12,640
This is the Play Therapy Podcast where you get

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,949
a master class in child-centered play therapy

7
00:00:15,239 --> 00:00:17,469
and practical support and application for your

8
00:00:17,469 --> 00:00:19,069
work with children and their families.

9
00:00:19,659 --> 00:00:20,750
In today's episode,

10
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:22,690
I am going to share

11
00:00:23,309 --> 00:00:24,549
some emails with you all.

12
00:00:25,069 --> 00:00:27,129
I know every once in a while I will read

13
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:31,319
a story from the playroom or I'll read something to encourage you,

14
00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:31,840
but

15
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:34,090
I've been receiving so many lately.

16
00:00:35,110 --> 00:00:36,299
That I realized

17
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:40,779
I wanted you all to hear a little bit about what's going on

18
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:41,860
in the world

19
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:46,500
related to people falling in love with CCPT

20
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:50,299
and the impact that it's having and the change that it is creating

21
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:52,439
and the outcomes

22
00:00:52,729 --> 00:00:53,319
that

23
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:56,939
are shared with me but not necessarily conveyed to you all

24
00:00:57,349 --> 00:00:58,590
and I truly.

25
00:00:59,349 --> 00:01:03,580
I view this in light of we're all in this together,

26
00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:07,260
and although I'm the one that people send emails to,

27
00:01:07,349 --> 00:01:09,029
I think that this is for all of us,

28
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:10,099
not just for me.

29
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:13,790
So I'm not going to share names or locations on

30
00:01:13,790 --> 00:01:17,300
this because some of these I have not gotten permission

31
00:01:17,629 --> 00:01:19,099
to read the entire email.

32
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:21,910
So to protect people who have emailed me,

33
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:25,790
I'm only going to read portions of the emails without names or locations.

34
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:28,330
But I just want to share some

35
00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:30,360
thoughts that have been sent to me

36
00:01:30,650 --> 00:01:31,760
to encourage you all

37
00:01:32,010 --> 00:01:34,199
and to help you understand that

38
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:36,160
this is so much bigger than us

39
00:01:36,569 --> 00:01:37,379
and

40
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:39,870
there is such incredible

41
00:01:40,330 --> 00:01:45,099
change and meaningful significant work happening around the world

42
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:48,569
that it's something that we can celebrate and as the year

43
00:01:48,569 --> 00:01:51,760
is coming to a close and we're ready to start 2025.

44
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,709
Wanted to just give you something to

45
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:56,599
celebrate and get excited about.

46
00:01:57,319 --> 00:01:58,540
And we'll kind of

47
00:01:58,790 --> 00:02:00,580
have these little moments to share together.

48
00:02:00,709 --> 00:02:01,180
So,

49
00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:01,910
as mentioned,

50
00:02:01,989 --> 00:02:03,910
I'm just going to read portions from emails,

51
00:02:04,029 --> 00:02:06,150
so I will let you know when I'm switching to a new one,

52
00:02:06,309 --> 00:02:08,589
but won't be able to give you more details than that.

53
00:02:09,839 --> 00:02:12,020
I've been recommended by

54
00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:14,940
my daughter's new play therapist to your podcast.

55
00:02:15,889 --> 00:02:20,360
I have recently felt at a loss of what I can do to help myself become a better parent.

56
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:23,929
I've reached my limit on self-researched and recommended books,

57
00:02:24,009 --> 00:02:24,449
info,

58
00:02:24,529 --> 00:02:25,690
podcasts,

59
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,210
and was looking for more and to dive deeper after

60
00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:31,559
a few new issues have been arising with my daughter.

61
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:35,119
I never normally care about people's opinions on my parenting,

62
00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:38,559
but I've been getting a lot of comments lately about how my daughter

63
00:02:39,770 --> 00:02:42,559
had acted like a teenager for 2 years and counting.

64
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:44,929
By this they meant moody,

65
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:45,369
yelling,

66
00:02:45,490 --> 00:02:46,050
lashing out,

67
00:02:46,130 --> 00:02:46,729
rolling eyes,

68
00:02:46,809 --> 00:02:47,410
sarcasm,

69
00:02:47,529 --> 00:02:48,089
negativity,

70
00:02:48,169 --> 00:02:49,089
and low self-esteem.

71
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:53,289
I stumbled on a pamphlet for a play therapist in our small town,

72
00:02:53,820 --> 00:02:55,399
and after the initial parent consult,

73
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:57,570
I was given tips to use right now,

74
00:02:57,820 --> 00:02:59,929
even ahead of the first appointment.

75
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,419
I knew this is exactly what I'd been looking for,

76
00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:06,339
and I was so excited there was a podcast linked to the teachings.

77
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:09,850
So far I'm roughly 20 episodes in starting from the start,

78
00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:13,380
and I feel so much relief and so many light bulb moments already.

79
00:03:13,889 --> 00:03:16,529
I'm frantically making notes as I listen and I'm

80
00:03:16,529 --> 00:03:19,160
already across the foundations and the four pillars.

81
00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:20,899
My partner is listening now too,

82
00:03:20,979 --> 00:03:22,279
so that he can catch up.

83
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:24,039
I have so much tweaking to do.

84
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:28,300
I just wanted to say that this information is life changing for me

85
00:03:28,589 --> 00:03:32,500
as my daughter and my relationship has become very fractured this year.

86
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:35,339
So thank you so much for what you are doing

87
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:37,699
and making such an impact in our lives already,

88
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:41,539
and we haven't even had our first official session with the play therapist yet.

89
00:03:41,789 --> 00:03:43,899
I will keep you updated with our progress.

90
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:46,940
If that doesn't make you excited,

91
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:48,160
oh my gosh.

92
00:03:48,619 --> 00:03:50,770
Haven't even had a first session yet,

93
00:03:50,979 --> 00:03:54,009
and there's already a sense of hope and transformation,

94
00:03:54,259 --> 00:03:56,570
which is exactly what we're always trying to do

95
00:03:56,929 --> 00:03:58,610
to support parents in the process.

96
00:03:59,660 --> 00:03:59,970
OK,

97
00:04:00,070 --> 00:04:00,649
here's another one.

98
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:02,050
I've been listening to both your

99
00:04:02,050 --> 00:04:04,679
parenting podcast and your Play Therapy Podcast,

100
00:04:04,889 --> 00:04:08,770
and I'm going through it all and even going back and relistening to episodes

101
00:04:09,410 --> 00:04:10,839
that I really want to absorb.

102
00:04:11,289 --> 00:04:13,610
I'm an educator and a parent of an autistic

103
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:16,100
child that was harmed by the public school system.

104
00:04:16,649 --> 00:04:19,200
We have no openings for play therapists where I live,

105
00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:22,170
so I decided to dive in and learn all about it on my own.

106
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:24,980
I was pleased to learn that I was already using most

107
00:04:24,980 --> 00:04:27,820
of the tactics you teach about in my interactions with him,

108
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:31,100
but was glad to hear specific ways to tweak what I was doing.

109
00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:33,970
My son has grown so much with these methods,

110
00:04:34,589 --> 00:04:35,820
still has a ways to go.

111
00:04:36,029 --> 00:04:39,059
He went back to public school at his own request

112
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:45,010
this year and has recently been processing more of his trauma from two years ago.

113
00:04:45,309 --> 00:04:47,989
The school is not keen on a CCPT approach.

114
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,309
But I'm working to educate them as much as they will allow.

115
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,899
We have a meeting coming up,

116
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:54,190
so fingers crossed.

117
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,420
Parents are now becoming CCPT advocates for their children in the school system.

118
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,309
That is so exciting.

119
00:05:05,410 --> 00:05:05,760
OK,

120
00:05:05,989 --> 00:05:06,869
here's another one.

121
00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:10,369
This is actually in response to

122
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:12,609
an episode that I recorded,

123
00:05:12,859 --> 00:05:14,649
so I received a question.

124
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:19,170
I responded in the podcast and then got this email as a result.

125
00:05:19,779 --> 00:05:19,950
Hi,

126
00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:20,630
Doctor Brenna,

127
00:05:20,660 --> 00:05:24,230
thank you for taking the time to respond and record the podcast episode.

128
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:27,299
We have seen success already with this approach

129
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,730
and can't wait to continue using it.

130
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:31,339
That's from a parent

131
00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:33,369
that was given CCPT

132
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:34,540
tips.

133
00:05:35,989 --> 00:05:36,540
Here's

134
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,109
something else that was shared with me.

135
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,320
I've been reflecting on some of the teachings I've been engaging with recently,

136
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:43,880
and I wanted to share my thoughts.

137
00:05:45,329 --> 00:05:50,179
I watched the filial teaching and the Hope Children's Home teaching.

138
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,989
I found it so valuable in terms of what I'm learning and

139
00:05:52,989 --> 00:05:56,329
how it's helping me to better articulate these concepts to teachers.

140
00:05:56,829 --> 00:05:58,269
One thing that stood out to me was the

141
00:05:58,269 --> 00:06:01,140
faith context you mentioned at the Children's Home.

142
00:06:01,429 --> 00:06:04,309
You shared how this model aligns with biblical principles.

143
00:06:05,119 --> 00:06:06,579
And I found that interesting.

144
00:06:06,989 --> 00:06:11,029
It resonated deeply with me because so much of what I love about this approach

145
00:06:11,309 --> 00:06:13,589
is how it aligns with what I know of God.

146
00:06:15,089 --> 00:06:17,350
And I've had so many people reach out to me

147
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,829
with a faith background

148
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,890
that share those same thoughts

149
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,269
that it just makes sense

150
00:06:23,679 --> 00:06:27,750
and in context of their understanding of faith,

151
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:30,269
it resonates deeply and

152
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,799
I've had a lot of people share things with that with me lately.

153
00:06:35,179 --> 00:06:35,420
OK,

154
00:06:35,489 --> 00:06:36,769
this might be my favorite one.

155
00:06:38,589 --> 00:06:39,750
Hello from

156
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,019
undisclosed place.

157
00:06:41,309 --> 00:06:45,700
I thought you would appreciate this little story as I am a devoted follower of yours.

158
00:06:46,029 --> 00:06:48,510
I have a 3 and a half year old daughter and a 1 year old son.

159
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:52,010
I was watching them play together from our baby camera

160
00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:54,500
and my son struggled to climb up on her bed.

161
00:06:55,609 --> 00:06:56,750
I heard her say to him,

162
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,630
You can do it.

163
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,670
Keep trying.

164
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,640
He successfully did it,

165
00:07:00,679 --> 00:07:01,950
and they both clapped,

166
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,019
and she said,

167
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:05,109
You kept trying and you did it.

168
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,589
I had tears in my eyes as I realized she is repeating exactly what I say to her.

169
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,709
Thank you for all your parenting and therapy guidance.

170
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,079
I listened to both.

171
00:07:16,989 --> 00:07:21,339
That is so special when kids start to use CCPT language

172
00:07:21,630 --> 00:07:24,630
amongst themselves because it's been so absorbed

173
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:27,339
and so much a part of their world.

174
00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:28,779
OK,

175
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,000
and then last one.

176
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:31,429
Hi,

177
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:31,760
Brenna,

178
00:07:31,769 --> 00:07:35,549
I'm finally on track with your episodes after binge listening for some time.

179
00:07:36,359 --> 00:07:37,829
I remember in one of the episodes,

180
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:40,179
you said that if Jesus was a child therapist,

181
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:41,970
he would be a CCPT.

182
00:07:42,149 --> 00:07:43,540
I can actually see it.

183
00:07:44,489 --> 00:07:49,500
I'm at the end of my internship and I am now well known for my passion with kids

184
00:07:49,910 --> 00:07:52,649
and the CCPT model in my department.

185
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:53,619
How amazing.

186
00:07:54,739 --> 00:07:55,029
Yes,

187
00:07:55,149 --> 00:07:56,089
that is amazing.

188
00:07:56,279 --> 00:07:58,320
And for context for you all,

189
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,869
since I wasn't reading locations,

190
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,549
those were international emails.

191
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,429
So not just from the states,

192
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,630
all over the world,

193
00:08:07,269 --> 00:08:08,029
people

194
00:08:08,359 --> 00:08:09,839
falling in love with CCPT.

195
00:08:10,899 --> 00:08:11,809
And

196
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:12,809
I,

197
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:16,149
at the meetups and in the coaching and sometimes

198
00:08:16,459 --> 00:08:18,380
in different conversations,

199
00:08:18,579 --> 00:08:22,220
I reference this being a wave or a movement.

200
00:08:23,049 --> 00:08:26,079
And I don't think that there's any better way to explain

201
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,109
what's happening,

202
00:08:27,799 --> 00:08:30,109
because let's track this a little bit together.

203
00:08:31,130 --> 00:08:32,308
In the last 10 years,

204
00:08:32,390 --> 00:08:34,950
but specifically the last 4 post COVID.

205
00:08:36,308 --> 00:08:38,750
Children's mental health issues have skyrocketed.

206
00:08:39,789 --> 00:08:41,049
And we could spend

207
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:41,859
days,

208
00:08:42,020 --> 00:08:43,090
weeks probably,

209
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,489
trying to sort out causality there.

210
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:47,059
My

211
00:08:47,539 --> 00:08:49,250
suspicions are that

212
00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:51,409
it's largely due to

213
00:08:51,780 --> 00:08:54,010
the COVID shutdowns and then

214
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:55,900
increased screen use and abuse.

215
00:08:57,070 --> 00:08:59,489
But I'm sure there's also familial factors.

216
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:01,690
I'm sure there's also societal factors,

217
00:09:01,789 --> 00:09:03,090
academic factors,

218
00:09:03,330 --> 00:09:04,969
kids are being forced to grow up too soon,

219
00:09:05,049 --> 00:09:05,520
too fast.

220
00:09:05,570 --> 00:09:06,760
They don't get to play anymore.

221
00:09:06,890 --> 00:09:06,929
I,

222
00:09:07,010 --> 00:09:07,289
I mean,

223
00:09:07,330 --> 00:09:07,489
look,

224
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:08,169
we could,

225
00:09:08,489 --> 00:09:11,450
we could come up with reasons all day and they'd probably all be relevant.

226
00:09:12,179 --> 00:09:14,890
But we know that kids are hurting more now than ever.

227
00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:16,659
They're struggling more now than ever.

228
00:09:17,710 --> 00:09:18,710
And

229
00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:20,140
we have to

230
00:09:20,619 --> 00:09:21,099
support

231
00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:22,479
children's mental health.

232
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:24,250
My

233
00:09:24,549 --> 00:09:27,750
vision is a world full of happy kids that become happy adults.

234
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:29,710
And

235
00:09:29,909 --> 00:09:33,380
in order for us to even consider that a possibility,

236
00:09:33,710 --> 00:09:34,419
we need

237
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:36,109
early intervention.

238
00:09:37,770 --> 00:09:39,520
So we have an entire

239
00:09:39,849 --> 00:09:41,880
group of children that are needing

240
00:09:42,690 --> 00:09:43,130
support.

241
00:09:44,119 --> 00:09:44,960
And

242
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:45,969
historically,

243
00:09:46,010 --> 00:09:49,390
we've had a whole field of people that didn't want to work with kids

244
00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:51,200
and didn't know how to work with kids.

245
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,650
And didn't feel equipped or trained to work with kids.

246
00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:57,479
And here's what's happening.

247
00:09:58,109 --> 00:10:00,070
People are falling in love with CCPT.

248
00:10:01,070 --> 00:10:02,859
Because CCPT finds us.

249
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:05,820
And once it

250
00:10:06,030 --> 00:10:06,549
grabs us,

251
00:10:06,590 --> 00:10:07,820
it doesn't let us go.

252
00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:10,450
And then we're all in.

253
00:10:11,909 --> 00:10:14,900
And what is happening from the emails that I'm getting and

254
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:17,919
the messages and the texts and everyone that's reaching out,

255
00:10:18,419 --> 00:10:19,099
what I'm

256
00:10:19,340 --> 00:10:20,250
realizing

257
00:10:20,979 --> 00:10:22,010
is that

258
00:10:22,599 --> 00:10:23,890
this is becoming

259
00:10:24,179 --> 00:10:25,510
a force in the field.

260
00:10:26,719 --> 00:10:29,599
And recently someone emailed me and said,

261
00:10:29,849 --> 00:10:33,799
I can't wait to see the wave and then she put tidal wave question mark.

262
00:10:34,619 --> 00:10:36,239
I like to think of it as a tidal wave,

263
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:36,950
yes.

264
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:37,679
Why?

265
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,570
Because

266
00:10:39,119 --> 00:10:40,429
it's all consuming

267
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:42,270
and it's taking over,

268
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,270
and it's exactly what we need as a field.

269
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,729
It's what children need,

270
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,520
it's what families need.

271
00:10:49,859 --> 00:10:52,000
I have had people say,

272
00:10:52,250 --> 00:10:53,919
I want to reach a point

273
00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:57,020
where every time someone mentions play therapy,

274
00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:58,530
everyone knows what it is.

275
00:10:58,849 --> 00:11:00,929
I never want to have to answer the question again.

276
00:11:01,049 --> 00:11:02,000
What's that?

277
00:11:02,469 --> 00:11:04,090
When I say that I'm a play therapist.

278
00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:07,530
And that's exactly where we're moving.

279
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,799
I see it.

280
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:12,119
So I wanted to share some of these stories and this was from therapists,

281
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,309
this was from parents,

282
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,590
this was from

283
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,669
just podcast listeners

284
00:11:17,239 --> 00:11:21,469
all over people are falling in love with CCPT

285
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:22,669
and seeing

286
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,750
what it does.

287
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,190
What

288
00:11:25,409 --> 00:11:29,669
changes emerge and what growth and healing takes place.

289
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,289
It is incredible

290
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400
to know that kids all day,

291
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,130
every day,

292
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,760
all around the world and their parents and the therapists.

293
00:11:39,469 --> 00:11:40,260
They're all

294
00:11:40,479 --> 00:11:42,380
seeing CCPT work.

295
00:11:43,289 --> 00:11:45,169
So I hope that that is an encouragement to you.

296
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:46,559
I hope that it

297
00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:48,679
reminds you of

298
00:11:49,010 --> 00:11:50,599
why we're doing what we're doing

299
00:11:50,929 --> 00:11:53,679
and that it sparks some

300
00:11:54,369 --> 00:11:57,640
passion as you head into your sessions this week.

301
00:11:57,969 --> 00:11:59,840
I hope that you are

302
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:01,400
very aware

303
00:12:01,770 --> 00:12:04,799
of the impact that every single moment

304
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:05,479
that

305
00:12:05,650 --> 00:12:07,849
we're engaged in CCPT has.

306
00:12:08,619 --> 00:12:09,489
It changes us,

307
00:12:09,580 --> 00:12:10,530
it changes kids,

308
00:12:10,539 --> 00:12:11,809
it changes families,

309
00:12:12,059 --> 00:12:13,130
it changes the world.

310
00:12:14,219 --> 00:12:14,820
And

311
00:12:15,140 --> 00:12:17,289
we're meant to be world changers.

312
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:17,859
I'll,

313
00:12:17,940 --> 00:12:19,969
I'll tell that story on another episode.

314
00:12:20,219 --> 00:12:21,530
I have a story behind the,

315
00:12:21,539 --> 00:12:22,929
the world changer phrase,

316
00:12:23,219 --> 00:12:24,690
so I'll share that at some point,

317
00:12:24,859 --> 00:12:26,979
but we're meant to be world changers.

318
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:29,570
And it starts

319
00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:33,570
with that 50 minute therapeutic hour in the playroom with

320
00:12:33,570 --> 00:12:35,570
that one kid that you're going to see today.

321
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:38,349
And that's how we change the world.

322
00:12:38,479 --> 00:12:38,830
So,

323
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,760
I love you all so much.

324
00:12:39,849 --> 00:12:40,679
I hope you're encouraged.

325
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,599
We'll talk again soon.

326
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:42,000
Bye.
