Episode 134 - Compassion Trust and Play with Hannah Mushit

In this episode I speak with Hannah Mushit who is the mother of 4 children, a registered play therapist and an Aware Parenting Instructor in Fremantle in Western Australia. She shares her journey with Aware Parenting and offers some examples of using Attachment Play to support her family. We discuss how to help ourselves in the moments where we "should" ourselves about play and how to support ourselves when we don't have the capacity to play, with compassion and acceptance. We talk about how our own childhood experiences of play can come up in our parenting and make it hard to be playful with our children at times. Hannah talks about Play Therapy and Filial Therapy for healing stress and trauma. We explore how to use play to offer the Balance of Attention and how to cultivate trust.
