Sandtray Therapy

Service Description

A creative counseling technique where you express your understanding of yourself, your world, and aspects of your reality through miniatures in a sandtray. It is especially helpful if you have difficulty expressing your emotions verbally. The hoped-for outcomes of sandtray therapy include: • Non-threatening and symbolic way for you to express emotions you may not have the words for such as fear, anger, sadness, or joy. • Work through difficult emotions in a safe and controlled way, enabling you to externalize and confront emotions you might otherwise avoid. • A way to revisit and reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and manageable manner where you control the narrative and pace of the process. • Through the symbolism, you can resolve traumatic experiences, leading to less distress when recalling those events. • Because the sandtray serves as a mirror of your inner experiences, insight can be gained into your internal world, including unconscious thoughts, emotions, and patterns. • Reveal underlying psychological issues or conflicts that you may not be consciously aware of.
