What is Sandtray Therapy
Sandtray Therapy
Sandtray therapy provides a unique and effective intervention for clients who have experienced trauma. However, its use is not limited to this. There are both psychological and neurobiological benefits to the use of sandtray therapy.
A sand tray provides a safe environment for clients who may have trouble verbalizing their story or find it difficult to talk about a particular subject. Sandtray therapy can be done in silence or with the interaction of the therapist.
Sandtray therapy is not just for young people I see a lot of adult clients who find it a very satisfying and engaging process.
What to expect
Like in Play therapy miniatures (toys) are used as symbols they can give expression to non-verbalized emotional issues.
Just like a blank canvas provides the artist with the potential to create a masterpiece so does the sand tray provide a place for emotional expression.
An example, a predatory animal may represent an abuser or an angel figure may represent a lost loved one.
