    As a therapist still in the early years of experience, I've struggled using interventions with the sand tray because I've only known it to be used with miniatures as a processing tool, and don't have enough training to feel qualified using it with clients. I've always been drawn to sand tray therapy techniques, so learning about different ways to use the sand tray, specifically THIS training, has given me SO much to bring into sessions that I feel confident about. Blown away!

    I really appreciated the view of sand as a regulation device. This course helped hone in on some concepts that I was aware of, but not accurately tapping into during play therapy sessions. Also included were some great takeaways about the actual sandtray set up in your playroom.
