When Experience Matters
Sand Tray Therapy
Site last published: 3/20/11
In a small tray of wet or dry sand the client arranges sand with or without miniature objects and creates a scene. It presents the client with the opportunity to relate to his/her conscious or unconscious thoughts and feelings. It can bring the unconscious to the conscious, the non- verbal to the verbal. It can bring forward inner resources that have been unsuspected. It becomes something like a solid dream allowing for extended exploration.
I use this modality and a useful adjunct to many other modalities in my practice.
This modality is used effectively with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
