In this Session Savvy episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I talk about the subtle impact of saying "OK" in the playroom. While it seems harmless in everyday conversation, in child-centered play therapy (CCPT), "OK" can unintentionally convey permission or agreement when the child should have full autonomy over their choices. I explain the difference between using "OK" for acknowledgment versus giving permission and why it's important to avoid this habit in the playroom.
I also provide practical examples to help you identify when and how "OK" slips into sessions and how to replace it with neutral, reflective language. This episode is a reminder that the words we use in CCPT matter, and small deviations like saying "OK" can impact the child's experience in subtle but significant ways.
