Sandtray Therapy in Plano, Texas
When words fail to express needs and emotions, Sandtray proves to be a helpful medium to facilitate deeper exploration of personal subjects in a safe and creative way. Developed in the 1920’s by Dr. Margaret Lowenfield, Sandtray therapy was first used to help children overcome psychological difficulties. At Hope Dynamics Counseling, we use a sandtray and miniature objects to help you express aspects of your life and emotions in a symbolic and personal way. We find Sandtray an effective and helpful way for you to get in touch with your emotions and work through difficulties in a safe and grounding space.
The Benefits of Sandtray Therapy.
Nonverbal Expression
Arranging miniatures in the Sand, assists emotional expression and increases personal insight. This makes it easier to see things you may not have realized, or that you haven’t been able to say out loud before.
Reduces Stress
Working in sand is therapeutic. It helps your body relax and your mind slow down, which makes it easier to think clearly and feel safe.
Trauma Recovery
Sand work helps you access patterns, themes, and emotions that may have been stuck or too painful to bring forward through a safe and symbolic medium, which can help support healing and bring you closer to regaining your true self and to release trauma impacts.
