When kiddo is 100% cheating in Exploding Kittens but you remember you’re supposed to be modeling emotional regulation and not launching the cards across the room 🤣

Play therapy is basically: “use your coping skills” while internally screaming “THAT CARD WAS NOT IN YOUR HAND A SECOND AGO.” 😂

Beans is ONE!!! 🎉

From tiny puppy chaos to certified good boy (with just a little mischief still sprinkled in 🤣), Beans has brought so much joy, laughter, and snuggles to our team and clients since he joined the PLIM family.

He’s been working hard on his therapy dog-in-training skills & will be starting the official AAT certification process next month now that he’s old enough.

We love you, Beans!! Help us wish the best boy a very happy 1st birthday! 🥳

Therapy doesn’t always look like talking! Sometimes it looks like learning how to handle a Draw 4 without melting down.

Even though we get to have a little fun, behind the game is real work:

✔ handling frustration
✔ adapting to change
✔ staying regulated when things feel unfair

Learning to stay calm when things don’t go your way = one of the most important skills we teach ❤️

What if we told you we had Needohs before they were cool… 🤣

Hallelujah for the moments we almost miss 🩵

It’s easy to overlook these shifts when you’re in the middle of parenting it all, but this is the work.

This is what it looks like when parenting (& therapy) is working.

Not perfect.
Not linear.
But building safety, connection, and skills that last.

Tiny wins = big healing. Hallelujah.
