Description
In this workshop, participants have numerous opportunities to develop their skills in working with sandtray play therapy through building, witnessing, and coaching with training peers.
Participants will explore various elements of the sandtray process in the context of clinical practice, including understanding and articulating based on case conceptualization. Experiential exercises will continue to deepen witnessing skills, increasing the capacity to ‘hold space’, and exploring the multidimensionality of sandtray play therapy as it relates to treatment goals.
A particular focus will be given to symbolic representations of the 3 branches of the nervous system and how shame shows up in the sandtray.
