Sandtray
Therapy
For Adults
Create your own world
Are you tired of just talking about your problems and relationships? Would you like to be more creative and expressive in your therapy sessions? Are someone who is ‘hands on’ and wants to use their senses? Would you like a fresh perspective, an outside view, on certain things in your life?
Sandtray therapy provides you with a different experience: Instead of being in your head all the time, you bring your thoughts and feelings into the sand with figures and miniatures that I provide. You might experience more clarity when you look from the outside in, and see new possibilities.
Healing through play
Sandtray therapy offers several benefits in therapy, especially for clients with trauma. It is a powerful way of communicating either non-verbal/pre-verbal traumatic events. By expressing yourself through symbols in the sand, you create a safe distance to process experiences that feel overwhelming or too scary to talk about.
And of course, the hands-on tactile experience of the sand has a grounding and calming effect and helps with regulation or emotional release of stored energies (anger, sadness, frustration) in your body.
Therapy is not just ‘work’
Play is an important part of being a human. When we are playful, we are creative and open to new possibilities. In the sandtray, you can build the world that you are longing for, or you can sculpt the relationships you have and find problematic. The scenes that you create in the sand will give you new insight, they might tap into areas of your subconscience that words and thoughts don’t reach. And because everything is fluid and flexible in the sandtray, you can experiment with new shapes, constellations and perspective and get direct and immediate feedback from your system.
