Therapists and counselors around the world keep sand trays within close reach and know they can be excellent tools for therapeutic engagement and work. Despite their popularity, many therapists are unaware of the range of situations in which sand trays can prove effective. For example, manipulating symbolic objects, such as trees, people, and animals in a tray filled with sand can help clients express their emotional and psychological distress.
Sand tray work can be especially effective in helping clients explore their edge-of-awareness experience and find the right words to name the experience. In this webinar, Dr. Fleet provides information on the many ways sand trays can be used to produce better therapeutic outcomes.
