sand tray therapy.
What is Sand Tray Therapy?
Sand Tray Therapy is a form of an expressive therapy. In this therapeutic intervention, a sandbox, toy figures, and sometimes water are used to create scenes of miniature worlds that reflect a person’s outer world as well as inner thoughts, struggles, and concerns. The sandbox and figures become important communication tools. Talk therapy can be, and often is, used along with the Sand Tray approach. In addition to its therapeutic use, sand tray can be a tool for personal growth and the development of creativity.
