Where do I go from here?
In the hands of a properly prepared therapist, sandplay is a powerful, invaluable modality. The operative word is “powerful” to the extent that any method can heal, so can it do harm.
I urgently advise even highly experienced… to have deep personal experience doing sandplay process as a client with a a qualified sandplay therapist and an extended period of careful supervision – anything less would be irresponsible.
