Sandplay therapy
Sandplay Therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses a sandbox and miniature figures to help individuals, often children, explore their thoughts and feelings. Participants create scenes and narratives in the sand, providing a non-verbal way to express emotions and experiences. This process can reveal inner conflicts, promote healing, and enhance self-awareness. By interacting with the sand and figures, clients can project their thoughts symbolically, making it easier to understand complex feelings and situations. Sandplay is typically facilitated by a trained therapist who guides the process while allowing for personal exploration and discovery.
