    Play Therapy: The Secret Language of Children & How to Decode Their Trauma Dr. Jennifer Hall (MW40)

    In this powerful episode of Mental Wealth, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Hall, a licensed professional counselor, Professor at Clemson University and President of the SC Association for Play Therapy, to peel back the curtain on how children truly communicate. Dr. Hall reveals the surprising ways stress, grief, trauma (like domestic violence), and even learning disabilities manifest in a child's behavior—and how child-centered play therapy can safely rewire their brain for healing and confidence. This is a must-watch for parents, teachers, and therapists seeking actionable, non-shaming tools. 💡 Key Takeaways You Can’t Miss: The powerful "A-C-T" method for setting non-shaming boundaries at home. Why aggressive behavior in school might be a fight/flight/freeze trauma response. Simple, impactful ways to incorporate "special playtime" (and why screens must go!). How play therapy boosts academic confidence in children with learning disabilities. 🔗 Social Media https://www.instagram.com/jaimeertakeoverr/Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=jaimeertakeoverrTwitter https://twitter.com/jaimeertakeoverTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jaimeertakeoverr?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2h0daCcrMMgixG4DsyFGa0?si=pnIWA-ykSOil2JGkITZMAA 📺 Time Stamps - Jump to What You Need: [00:00:00] Opening quote on play therapy[00:02:33] Ideal clients and settings overview[00:04:06] Trauma signs and safe processing[00:07:52] Learning disabilities and play therapy[00:11:05] Grief, attachment, and caregiver roles[00:17:12] Powerful elements and materials[00:20:47] Parent playtime and representation[00:23:28] Beyond play; schools, adults, elders, closing

    The Bystander Effect Explained: Why We Watch But Don't Act (MW35)

    In this episode, I provide a personal life update, including my experiences working in a pediatric unit and the challenges of balancing two jobs. The main topic of discussion is the bystander effect—why people tend to do nothing in critical situations when others are present. I delve into the psychology behind this phenomenon, discussing factors like diffusion of responsibility, social cues, and the fear of social judgment. I also explain how these factors manifest in real-world situations, including online harassment and workplace bullying. Finally, I offer practical advice on how to become an upstander instead of a bystander, encouraging viewers to take action in critical moments. 00:00 Life Update: New Job and Adjustments 01:14 Introduction to the Bystander Effect 01:37 Real-Life Examples of the Bystander Effect 03:09 Psychological Reasons Behind Inaction 05:12 Social Cues and Ignorance 07:07 Fear of Social Blunders and Evaluation Apprehension 09:26 Online Harassment and Cyber Bullying 12:15 Workplace Harassment and Safety Violations 16:04 Becoming an Upstander: Taking Action 19:46 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Social Media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jaimeertakeoverr/Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=jaimeertakeoverrTwitter https://twitter.com/jaimeertakeoverTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jaimeertakeoverr?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2h0daCcrMMgixG4DsyFGa0?si=pnIWA-ykSOil2JGkITZMAA
