Website Post: Episode 332 Discussion: Superiority of Five Axis Over Three, Manipulating Human Behavior, and the Individual Behind Model Creation
In the latest episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, hosts Elliot and Dan delved into the art of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT). The 327th episode, titled "Art of the Session: Reflecting Feelings with Effectiveness and Precision in CCPT," focused on the often underutilized skill of reflecting feelings in CCPT[1].
The episode underscored the importance of reflecting feelings in both reflective responses and the four pillars of CCPT, emphasizing its effective and precise use within therapy sessions. This exploration is part of the "Art of the Session" series that examines key therapeutic skills[1].
Elsewhere in the discussion, the hosts examined a variety of topics. They discussed the poor performance of digital microscopes, computer systems' trouble with names, and the potential of a thermal receipt printer as a treatment for ADHD. The conversation also touched upon what happens to planes when they get hit by lightning and how they avoid such incidents[1].
In other news, Elliot shared his picks for the week, including tips on designing 3D-printed parts with tight tolerances, a speed loader for your 3D printer filament, and a unique fire alarm disco party concept[1]. Dan, too, shared his picks, featuring the 2025 One Hertz Challenge, where he discussed blinking an LED the old-fashioned way, op-amp madness, and a ring oscillator that should have been included[1].
The episode also paid tribute to Shunsaku Tamiya, the man who gave us some of the best things to build. Congratulations were also in order for Wes G, Dan Maloney, and the creators of a 5-axis printer created due to COVID[1].
The first day of Supercon 2025 is set for Halloween, featuring a Friday night sci-fi cosplay party. Other exciting events include discussions on sparks flying while building a 330 KV supply from a PC PSU, a pseudo-Mellotron powered by an unusual tape recorder, a DIY fermenter for flavorful brews, and quick and dirty microscope motion control for focus stacking[1].
