95. Stephanie Omens, Helping Children Understand Illness Through Story, Play, and Truth Telling

For creative arts therapist Stephanie Omens, it’s all about storytelling--even in the most challenging of circumstances. She works with children who have illnesses or who have parents or siblings who are ill, and it’s her job to help them understand what they’re experiencing. On today’s episode, Stephanie talks about why white lies don’t serve kids and why truth telling empowers them, how she uses story and play in her practice, and how she’s helping kids and parents understand life during the pandemic.
