Anin Utigaard masterfully teaches us to pay attention to all of the ways we communicate with children in therapy. Watch as she enters the child’s world through her speech, body language and play, and carefully attends to the child’s need to please. In this video, Utigaard connects with a little girl’s shyness and fear of doing something wrong. Interacting with her through play and art, Utigaard builds safety and trust, and sparks the girl’s sense of initiative. Jon Carlson and Don Keat introduce Ms. Utigaard, and facilitate an in-depth discussion of the further impact and uses of this approach.
