About the Training

Sandtray Therapy is an evidenced based therapy model used for all ages. It’s a bottom up approach to therapy that bypasses the prefrontal cortex to do deeper subcortical, nervous system, implicit memory work. This is why it’s great modality in helping clients through the three phases of trauma treatment.

Sandtray Therapists are you ready to take your skills to the next level and become a trauma informed Sandtray therapist?

Join me for a day of hands on, in depth look at:

  1. Review of themes and basic sandtray therapy practice

  2. The three phases of trauma treatment in sandtray therapy

  3. Practical advanced techniques to utilize with clients

  4. Working with dissociative clients

  5. Working through your own countertransference and holding grounded space for your own trauma story in the tray

    There will be multiple practicums where you will get to create your own trays and process with a partner, making this training a more engaging experience. This is a safe space to grow, learn, and get curious- no expertise needed, just a basic training or experience in Sandtray Therapy as a prerequisite.

Come enjoy a day with other Sandtray Therapists!
