Let’s use the Sandtray!
Playing with sand? Why?
Sandtray is a technique used with young and old alike. All ages can benefit from this modality.
Sand itself is very grounding and helps us to regulate our emotions.
By using “miniatures” to represent our world - thoughts, feelings, people and things - we can express the things that cannot be expressed with mere words. Sandtray accesses the right brain - the area where that doesn’t have language but stores much of our trauma, emotions and understands the “big picture.” As a result, children and adults work through issues faster!
