Sand Tray Therapy

Sand Tray Therapy is a form of psychotherapy used with adults and children alike. Expressing themselves through the manipulation of small objects, individuals have access to a visual representation of the psyche as demonstrated through the symbolic nature of the objects chosen. As with the dream, rather than interpret, we become curious about the objects themselves and their relationship to one another as placed in the tray. What individual hasn't played in the sand whether as a child or adult....sand tray therapy recalls a kinesthetic innocence (somatic memory) and loosens the locked-in linear patterns of thought we are so attached to. Bringing the unconscious images to awareness is a healing agent.
