Play Therapy Podcast213 | House-Tree-Person Assessment: When and How to Use It in Child-Centered Play TherapyIn this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I respond to a question from Christina in Vermont regarding the first session with a child in the playroom and how to incorporate an intake assessment without deviating from the child-centered play therapy (CCPT) model. Christina specifically asks about the "house-tree-person" drawing assessment and how to approach it during that initial session. I explain that any assessment or directive activity must only be done in the first session to avoid disrupting the CCPT process later on. I share how I integrate this drawing assessment along with a kinetic family drawing to...2024-10-1614 min

What’s the Craic?An Epic Pull of StringsThis episode may be the most unhinged yet, in our humble opinion, and we're finally seeing who's playing the game! Between the aftermath of Haris and Shaq and Olivia and Zara there's already so much to unpack! Like, what's going on with the love triangle between Tanya, Shaq, and David? The recoupling had Christina and Brenna on the edges of their seats and the only happy moment this episode was Ron and Lana finally having a kiss because he was "clucking for one!" *swoon* 2023-03-1337 minWhat’s the Craic?The Quiet ContenderIt's like the wild, wild west out here baby, so buckle up! Zara is single handedly shaking up the villa and turning heads while David seemingly has eyes for one girl and one girl only. Our daddy of the season, Ron, seems to be confused and wanting to put a couple eggs in multiple baskets, but can we really blame him for playing the game? After all, dating is just asking yourself, "what are the most important boxes for me to be checked off by a partner?" The beer pong game wreaks havoc amongst our islanders and Christina and...2023-03-1332 minWhat’s the Craic?She Earned That Yellow BeltIt's the third episode of the series, and things are far from being settled in the villa. With two new bombshells entering, the possibility of heads turning is higher than ever. Quick debrief, Tanya and Shaq kiss finally (yay), Olivia is more physically attracted to Haris (weird), and Will is the islander we never knew we needed on this show. There's just something about a quiet confidence. Tanya and Ron go on dates with our new islanders David and Zara and we have A LOT of thoughts, some of them being: cheaper products are easier to get your hands...2023-03-1236 minWhat’s the Craic?Call Me a Little TingIt's the second episode of our favorite series and things are already spicing up. Starting off strong with a truth or dare game, we are given some *chef's kiss* moments like Will licking Olivia's entire foot and Lana splitting her skirt while giving a lap dance. We watch Tom chat up all the girls and then inevitably make his decision on who to couple up with leaving one islander single and vulnerable. And don't worry, Christina and Brenna get into that Dirty Laundry game as well, where the islanders' secrets are spilled. Would you tell someone you're joining the...2023-03-0143 minWhat’s the Craic?Chili Pepper Girls Don't Go with Puppy Dog BoysWe're back baby!

But this time, with a vengeance. It's the longest episode of What's the Craic yet, but potentially the juiciest. A new boy enters the villa and causes some havoc for one girl in particular. We're convinced Davide and Ekin-Su may have been made for one another after that game of Never Have I Ever, but some of us aren't too convinced about Dami and Amber. Also, does Ikenna need to step his game up when it comes to Indiyah? Brenna and Christina get into it - relating all that's happening on the island to...2022-11-281h 20What’s the Craic?You're So InterestingWe're four episodes into this season and it's all a mess we can't wait to watch unfold. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about the words Davide uses to try to describe Gemma and the different words men have used to describe them in the past. Luca's behavior is interesting, Tasha seems to be self-sabotaging, and Ekin-Su is on a mission to shake things up, arguably more so than any other islander in Love Island history. 2022-07-1331 minWhat’s the Craic?Ekin-Sue Me For Touchin' YaSo much has happened in such a small amount of time. Some of us at What's the Craic started this season not on Team Andrew, but after this episode could it be, Give-Me-An-Andrew-2022? Tasha and Andrew seem to be headed in the right direction, while Luca seems to be planting all of his seeds to see where his garden will grow. We see our first islander leave the villa as well as the first official recoupling for the season. Don't worry, Christina and Brenna talk about it all in this episode, so stick around!2022-07-1326 minWhat’s the Craic?Pimple Cream KingThings are starting to heat up as we see our first bombshell of the season steal an islander and leaving another one single in the process. In this episode, Christina and Brenna talk about how different this group of islanders behave in comparison to other seasons...it seems the boys (surprisingly) are more closed off than the girls and honestly, we're here for this group of empowered women. There's a big discussion on who is the snake in the grass, the importance of being funny, and our very first date in the villa! We're only left with thinking one...2022-07-0927 minWhat’s the Craic?Are You Doing Okay?!As always, the beginning of the series is a slow burner, but that doesn't stop the craic from flowing. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about the potential love triangle with Luca at the forefront; the Italian stallion and who he decided to couple up with; what the islanders had to declare to one another in the first challenge of the series; and of course, all the tangents and antidotes that Brenna and Christina have to offer. 2022-07-0428 minWhat’s the Craic?AND...WE'RE BACKSeason 8 of our favorite dating show is now on our screens and we could not be more excited! This episode Christina and Brenna dive into this year's islanders and discuss the most controversial change this season has offered us so far...the public pairing up the islanders instead of letting them choose! Things have already started to get interesting and we cannot wait to see how the rest of this season will go...2022-06-2951 min

This has been a crazy season with so many twists and turns. For the final episode of the season, Christina and Brenna talk all about those declarations of love and the final interviews our couples have with Laura. Side note, if you didn't cry at Faye and Teddy's speeches to one another then you have no emotions. Thank you so much for listening along all season...we can't wait for next summer!2021-09-0723 minWhat’s the Craic?Our Standards Aren't on the Floor AnymoreIt's family day people and the return of Brenna's Astrology Corner in a BIG way! As we come to the close this season, Christina and Brenna give their thoughts on our islander's families and make their predictions for the final. They even throw the islanders their own little graduation ceremony at the end of the episode, so listen along to hear what they have to say! 2021-09-0730 minWhat’s the Craic?Hold His Feet to the FireYay! More dates! We watched Millie and Liam go on their final date and wow, was that romantic or what?! And they finally said those three words to one another! Swoon. While the majority of the final couples are becoming stronger, we see the fallout from Jake and Liberty and honestly, good for you, girl. This episode Christina and Brenna talk about it all and also the importance of putting yourself before a man who's not showing up for you. We only have two episodes left, so be sure to stick around to hear all the craic!2021-09-0117 minWhat’s the Craic?BasuraOur couples are being sent on their final dates and we love to see it! Who had the better date so far? Faye & Teddy or Kaz & Tyler? One thing we don't love to see though is Liberty crying. If you hurt our girl, you hurt us! While discussing this episode, we are given more dating advice from the ladies who may not be completely qualified to dish it out...maybe. Jake and Liberty may be on the rocks, but we'll leave you with one sentiment: anybody who makes you feel like you're not enough - get out of there. 2021-09-0127 minWhat’s the Craic?It All Started With BettyWe're getting down to the wire, so it's all just banter at this point, ladies and gents! And....on that note....THE BABIES ARE BACK! Christina and Brenna heavily discuss all things baby related - and maybe a little too much. While they may go off on tangents, one thing we can be certain of, Teddy is proving to be the perfect specimen once again. 2021-09-0124 minWhat’s the Craic?This Was the Least Talented Group of IslandersAs much as we love the drama, at this point it seems a bit unnecessary. Of course Christina and Brenna will still talk about it, though. This episode starts out on a low with the results of the islanders' votes, but then goes to a high with the talent show! This was one of the messiest talent shows to ever grace our screens and honestly, we felt transported back to middle school with some of the performances. With another dumping on the horizon, we genuinely don't know who's going home...2021-08-2130 minWhat’s the Craic?Yeah, No I Hate BeansFor the first ever time on the podcast we have a guest! Yay! We also start things off by taking another Love Island quiz in real time! Everyone is avoiding everyone in the villa right now, things are tense and the results of the votes are definitely going to cause some upset. Listen along to hear what our Love Island queens have to say about it. 2021-08-2126 minWhat’s the Craic?Here's a Temporary BandaidWe're given a lot in this episode actually. There's so much sharing of perspectives and people respectfully hearing others opinions and don't worry because Christina and Brenna discuss it all. There are just two questions remaining after watching...Do you know anyone who doesn’t like pasta?! AND, do YOU know what asparagus is? 2021-08-2127 minWhat’s the Craic?I'm Here for DragonsThis is the moment Brenna has been waiting for all season. As Jake confesses his feelings for Liberty, some of the other islanders begin questioning his true intentions. We may not know where their relationship is headed, but we are certain that another couple in particular are falling for one another. Listen along as Christina and Brenna talk about this episode and dive into the challenge where our islanders get a little insight to what the viewers have been thinking. 2021-08-2134 minWhat’s the Craic?The Answer is ScotlandAs we are nearing the end of this series, couples are coming together and some are hitting the rocks. We see Tyler reenact the famous scene from Love Actually for Kaz, Liberty begins questioning Jake's authenticity, and we end the episode with the fan favorite Hearts Racing Challenge! Christina and Brenna talk about it all as well as the one question they have had for years now: how many toilets are in the villa? Let us know if you know. 2021-08-2028 minWhat’s the Craic?From the Crew to the Cast: the Story of BrettChristina is jumping for joy after this episode and if you've been following along, I think you know why - Faye apologizes to Teddy and Feddy is back on! We also see a new romance blossoming between Aaron and Mary and honestly, we're here for it. This episode end with Christina and Brenna talking all about the Sex Gods challenge as well as ANOTHER new islander, Brett. 2021-08-1823 minWhat’s the Craic?Toby's Open Mic NightWell, we see the results of the Island Vibes Club votes and while we had to say goodbye to two of our islanders, we said hello to two new ones as well! Everyone please welcome Aaron and Priya! Listen along as Christina and Brenna dissect the dates our new islanders go on and hear all their thoughts on the continuation of the Feddy saga. 2021-08-1824 minWhat’s the Craic?Goodbye to YouSooo....apparently new boy Brett is a model? Hmm, we're not too convinced, but what do you lot think at home?! As another love triangle begins to grow, it comes to an end rather quickly with a recoupling and one of our boys is sent home. Christina and Brenna get into it this episode and don't worry, they absolutely talk all about graduation and that lovely ceremony Priya gave to our girls! 2021-08-1823 minWhat’s the Craic?He's Now Walking Around Like a MonkIt's the day after hurricane Faye and things seem to have settled a little bit in the villa. In this episode Christina and Brenna discuss Liberty putting her feelings first and Millie and Liam rekindling their romance. Both Christina and Brenna have their own heroes of this episode and it might not be who you would expect. It's also the return of the Island Vibes Club, which I'm sure we all know by now, can only mean something bad is about to happen.2021-08-0924 minWhat’s the Craic?The Aftermath of Mad MoviesThis episode in particular was extremely heavy and hard to watch. Generally speaking, this podcast is light hearted and both Christina and Brenna enjoy bantering one another and making jokes, but they both thought this episode dealt with a lot of issues that we cannot take lightly. We must always remember that the people on Love Island are human beings with real feelings and not characters and that a lot of what is shown has been edited for our entertainment. This episode of the podcast does discuss the importance of mental health and being there for your loved ones...2021-08-0942 minWhat’s the Craic?He's a Victim of His Small VocabularyWell folks, we saw the results of yet another dumping and honestly, it was probably the best results we could have asked for. In this episode Christina and Brenna talk about the quickest dumping we have ever seen on the show, Millie and Liam moving forward, and how the producers are being completely evil this season. Our favorite couple may be on the rocks and our hearts hurt, but we're still here to talk about it all with you. 2021-08-0927 minWhat’s the Craic?I'm an Evolved ScorpioNO WHEY! With another dumping on the horizon, Christina and Brenna get into it in this episode and talk all about Toby's pep talk in the mirror, the fact that wet condiments are disgusting, and how transparent Kaz is behaving. We're also seeing how pig headed and stubborn some of the islanders are and Christina and Brenna have come to the conclusion that Hugo is in it for the free holiday. 2021-08-0928 minWhat’s the Craic?Look at the Mess You've CreatedIt's Operation Win Chloe Back and we love to see it! If someone could get us in contact with Chloe's people, please let us know because we would love for her to be on the pod. In this episode Christina and Brenna talk about all the drama that's going on in the villa including Hugo, the VIP party, Liam's speech, and the recoupling that has left some islanders seething. 2021-08-0824 minWhat’s the Craic?Jesus WeptSo Toby did a full 360 and it looks like Toby and Chloe might be back on?! Ya know what, let their freak flags fly high because Christina and Brenna are here for it! In this episode we will see what's in the red flag corner for today and the continuation of the love triangle, or rather love square. While our contestants might be forgetting that they are on Love Island, we haven't forgotten for one second. 2021-08-0825 minWhat’s the Craic?My Head Is All Over the GaffPeople are going forward, people are going backwards. We've come to the decision that this season is CHAOTIC and as much as we love the drama, we're also here for the love and we would love to see more of that on our screens. In this episode Christina and Brenna talk about whether they are team Tyler or team Kaz, the Lillie and Millie debrief, and most importantly, that kiss that meant the world to them. And at the end of it all we'd like to announce...Toby, your lawyers will be hearing from us soon. 2021-08-0629 minWhat’s the Craic?Don't Go Back to CougarvilleWe have never felt more disappointed in our entire lives after watching this episode. Casa Amor is doing its thing, unfortunately, and our faith in some islanders has been crushed. This episode Christina and Brenna discuss all of the big moments concluding with their predications for the rest of the recoupling. Although they don't know how this recoupling will end, one thing they both can agree on is that Chloe deserves her own TV show. 2021-08-0628 minWhat’s the Craic?You Failed MiserablyWell ladies and gentlemen, that was probably the most dramatic Casa Amor recoupling that we have ever witnessed in Love Island history. Christina and Brenna's hearts are broken and in the words of Tyra Banks, "We were rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!" While we are left feeling completely hopeless and wondering if some of our islanders can ever come back from the events that took place at Casa Amor, our OG King of the Villa Hugo has been dethroned by the one and only Teddy. 2021-08-0626 minWhat’s the Craic?Casa Amor: Sponsored by JakeIt's obviously not Sunday because there's no post on Sundays! The girls at the main villa received a post card and boy oh boy did that cause upset. The boys are moving mad and the producers are stirring the pot. With things shaking up we have no idea what's going to happen, but Christina and Brenna talk all about it. 2021-08-0624 minWhat’s the Craic?You're Buying Your Own Ticket HomeCasa Amor is driving us NUTS! Like we predicated, it's separating the men from the boys and there is one boy in particular that I think we can all agree is SENDING US. This episode Christina and Brenna get into everything Casa related and also have an entire segment dedicated to their favorite topic, sports! (not really)2021-07-2929 minWhat’s the Craic?No Bigger Ball of AnxietyCASA AMOR IS BACK...and we are not here for it honestly. This week gives both Christina and Brenna anxiety and I'm sure it gives you anxiety as well. They go over our new islanders and cross their fingers that our favorite boys will not stray from their leading ladies. History has shown that anything can happen at Casa Amor, so we better buckle up. 2021-07-2719 minWhat’s the Craic?Murder Me on That HillThe rivalry between Toby and Hugo comes to an end...kind of. This episode Christina and Brenna talk all about their highlights from Sports Day and the conversation between Aaron and Lucinda that made us all see right through that relationship. We have another dumping and we did have to say goodbye to one of our OG boys and their partner who's response went something like, "reallllaaayyyyy?!" Keep our islanders in your prayers because...CASA AMOR IS BACK! 2021-07-2724 minWhat’s the Craic?Millie's MaidensIt's the aftermath of the recoupling and tensions are HIGH in the villa. It feels like there is a massive divide and all we want are for things to go back to normal. Amidst all the drama, there are some lovely moments that Christina and Brenna talk about like Millie and Liam's date! Yay! And we also have our first official couple in the villa! While there may be a divide between Christina and Brenna on this topic, this is what the show is all about, people. 2021-07-2726 minWhat’s the Craic?And This Summer, She Wants TobyOUR HEADS ARE GONE! This is probably the most dramatic episode of the season yet and Christina and Brenna get into it. They cover all the bases starting with Tyler and Kaz, the Toby, Chloe, and Abi triangle, and the amazing speech that Hugo delivered. If you aren't on Hugo's side then you need to get your head checked. With that said, justice for Georgia.2021-07-2721 minWhat’s the Craic?In This Essay I Will...We said goodbye to two islanders and hello to three more! What are we thinking about our new bombshells Abi, Georgia, and Tyler? Are they here to play games and mess things up or are they here to find love? Like Hugo said, you never know what's around the corner. 2021-07-2726 minHazel & Katniss & Harry & StarrTwentiesBlame Brenna for this one! We're tackling Lena Waite's autobiographical series Twenties, about three Black women trying to make it in Hollywood, and it is very clearly not a show for teens. Thankfully we both really enjoy the show, which has some frank discussions about sex and love, has a very funny depiction of well-meaning white allies and features a rare example of a "masculine-presenting stud" lesbian in Jonica T. Gibbs' Hattie. Plus: relating too hard with know -it-all Marie (Christina Elmore), wanting more for Nia (Canadian actress Gabrielle Graham)and fan girling over Vanessa Wi...2021-07-2732 minWhat’s the Craic?Having a GossCAN YOU BELIEVE THIS EPISODE? Christina and Brenna have so many feelings after watching...some good feelings and some bad. We see Britain's sweetheart disrespected and we will not stand for it! But something we will stand for, Tour de Faye. Yes honey, Teddy and Faye get a date and we are living for it! The results of the voting are in and we have our bottom six, but who is going to be dumped? Stayed tuned to find out.  2021-07-2625 minWhat’s the Craic?Jon Who Works at Best BuyWe begin this episode with Christina and Brenna finding out the answer to the question everyone thinks about, how far would they go in Love Island? Who would be the winner? The saga of the love triangle continues and comes to a close (thank goodness). We have another Hideaway stay and in the words of Chloe and Toby, "oh yeah!" Our islanders play snog, marry, pie, and the game might have some repercussions...2021-07-2629 minWhat’s the Craic?The Love Triangle No One Asked ForAND....we're back! This time around Christina and Brenna begin by taking a Love Island quiz to see which iconic Love Island girl they would be! Then they get into it and dissect all that's going on in the villa, but mainly the love triangle we didn't ask to see on our screens. Also, has anyone else noticed how aggressive the snogs are this season?! Just sayin'....2021-07-2628 minWhat’s the Craic?50 Shades of BeigeDanny is in the villa, people and he's going on some dates! Christina and Brenna go over all of it and by it we mean mainly Danny and AJ having SO many chats with our other islanders. We have a recoupling looming and we have no idea what's going to happen! 2021-07-2329 minWhat’s the Craic?The New PandemicChristina and Brenna are back with their thoughts on this episode of Love Island and the return of Brenna's Astrological Corner! We watched AJ make her move on Aaron, Teddy, and Hugo, but we don't know yet who she will be going for! Jake and Liberty share a cute moment boxing together, which reminded Brenna of that one time she took Christina to her gym and it didn't go so well. While the Love Island producers work hard, Faye has proven that she works harder and gets all of the islanders to play a game that may or may...2021-07-2327 minWhat’s the Craic?The Scent of His Nan Gently on the PillowCAN YOU BELIEVE THAT DUMPING?! We're still reeling about it, but let's be honest, we knew what the outcome was going to be. We may have said goodbye to one of our islanders, but we're also saying hello to a new one. Christina and Brenna get into it this episode and don't worry, they discuss that fight between Chloe and Toby, too. 2021-07-2229 minWhat’s the Craic?Tough Egg to CrackWe are starting to see small connections form in our villa and we're here for it! Although our standards are pretty low, some things we are certain about, Liberty is our queen, Millie makes a cute nurse, and a cheese toastie is just a grilled cheese. This episode with Christina and Brenna features musical breaks and a whole lot of banter! They go over Brad and Lucinda's date and the most savage dumping technique that we haven't seen since season 3! 2021-07-1437 minWhat’s the Craic?Fast Express Train to Pie TownFinally! The first episode that made us feel like we were watching LOVE Island. Christina and Brenna get into the dramatic recoupling that kept us on the edge of our seats, the disgusting food challenge that the producers keep bringing back, and all. of. the. snogs. Can we also take a moment to acknowledge Hugo's speech because we are swooning! Please send someone in for that literal angel of a human. 2021-07-1431 minWhat’s the Craic?Secondhand EmbarrassmentSteady on, Teddy! We are here for our new bombshell and Christina and Brenna dissect all four of the speed dates some of our lovely ladies went on. Although they have differing opinions on who had the best date with Teddy, if there is one thing Christina and Brenna can agree on it's that one girl in particular needs to go. With the recoupling looming, what on earth is going to happen?!2021-07-1419 minWhat’s the Craic?Slimey Little Earthworm Excuses of MenHow many dumpings have we watched in the past three episodes?! The boys have whiplash from breaking their necks, the girls have whiplash from the boys mad moves, and we have whiplash from keeping up with it all! Christina and Brenna get into it and don't shy away from saying how we are all feeling...let's just chuck all the men in the bin. 2021-07-1425 minWhat’s the Craic?I'd Look like a Wet NoodleIt seems that every one has lost their heads in the villa and we have too! This episode Christina and Brenna go over the sexiest girl challenge and the feelings that seem to have come out of left field. Don't worry, they also share their feelings on the kiss that left us all reeling.2021-07-1329 minWhat’s the Craic?An Eighth Grade DanceThis episode Christina and Brenna dig deep into the dates our boys went on with the new bombshells. They also get into the one question that has been on everyone's minds: does the word "homely" mean two different things in American and British culture? Listen along to also hear their thoughts about the ending of one of our couples!2021-07-1332 minWhat’s the Craic?I'm not going on a boozy brunch!We should rename this podcast "Hugo's fan club" because we must protect that man at all costs. This episode Christina and Brenna discuss the blowout between Hugo, Sharon, and Faye and how it left them in disbelief. They also go over the boozy brunch the girls get sent on, the two new bombshells, and the difference between the boys and girls vulnerability this season. We're still left wondering...what actually is Brad's type and what are dark features? Let us know if you can figure it out because we have no idea. 2021-07-0931 minWhat’s the Craic?A Little Coward BabyBOY OH BOY! The cracks are beginning to show. We were left feeling HOPELESS after this episode. This time around Christina and Brenna discuss Rachel's decision, kisses shared between some of our islanders, the first hideaway stay, and that beyond awkward brunch. After this episode we are left wondering, who sets the scale when it comes to rating people and what is actually going on in this villa?! 2021-07-0928 minWhat’s the Craic?Laid out like a SacrificeThis episode Christina and Brenna discuss what on earth Rachel is going to do when it comes to picking between Brad and Chuggs, how some of our islanders are not feeling it, and that HILARIOUS undercover lover game.

In this episode Christina and Brenna discuss Chuggs and Liam getting to know the girls in the villa, how oblivious Brad seems to be, and the recoupling that had us all on the edge of our seats. 2021-07-0631 minWhat’s the Craic?Another Brad ChatWell ladies and gentleman, Christina and Brenna are eating their words after this episode because they were in fact proven wrong by our bombshells. In this episode they talk all about the bombshell dates, the first snogs outside of a game on the show, and the possible connection between their two favorite islanders. The big debate of Jake's sincerity with Liberty is brought up again, and leaves us wondering, is there trouble in paradise? With a recoupling looming, we have no idea what's going to happen, but we cannot wait to watch it all unfold on screen. 2021-07-0322 minWhat’s the Craic?Dead TingsOMG!
