"Twins are master co-regulators but also susceptible to losing themselves. The key is to help them find the 'I' in 'we.'" – Lisa Dion

Twins may be nature's "2-for-1 deal," but being a twin—or working with twins—comes with unique challenges that singletons rarely face. In this episode, Lisa Dion (a fraternal twin herself) is joined by Susan Stutzman (mother of identical twins) to explore the joys and complexities of supporting twins in the playroom.

What You'll Discover:

  • How twins regulate each other and what happens when they struggle to find individuality
  • Strategies for helping twins navigate separation anxiety and establish their own identities
  • Insights from both personal and professional perspectives, bridging lived experience with play therapy expertise

Tune in for a heartfelt and informative conversation about honoring the unique dynamics of twins while supporting their growth, self-expression, and emotional well-being.
