Using Humor in Play Therapy Supervision 

Presented by Jessica Warrick, MS, LPCC-S, RPT

Research shows that humor has strong therapeutic value. A supervision relationship infused with humor can break down barriers, make critiques less painful and provide a playful platform for growth.

In this training, we will look at what the research says about the use of humor in therapeutic relationships and how this information can be applied to the Play Therapy supervision. We will explore supervision through a humanistic lens and examine illustrations of how to apply humor in a supervision relationship.
