SAND THERAPY

Healing tools can come in many forms, and sand happens to be a specific aspect of play therapy that can be used as a stand alone therapy with teenagers. Our psyche ultimately wants us to heal, and sand being used in a therapeutic environment while being with the support of a therapist can allow the internal workings of the mind to flow and reorganize itself in new ways that can release emotions in a different way than trying to talk it out. Sometimes our conscious mind, in trying to protect us, can become a barrier to accessing these deeper aspects that sand can reach. This modality is a beautiful addition to talk sessions, or on its own as the entire process for healing. Let me know if you want to use sand in our sessions from the beginning, or I often recommend adding it along the way.
