SandStory Therapy®: A Powerful Tool in Creative Arts Therapies
SandStory Therapy is a creative and effective therapy that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other creative art therapies, such as Play Therapy. It involves using sand and symbols to create stories that allow children and young adults to safely and gently explore and express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences.
You don't need to be skilled at storytelling or to benefit from SandStory Therapy. As humans, we naturally use stories to make sense of our lives and experiences. SandStory therapists are trained to provide support and structure to assist children and young adults in telling their stories using sand. They are also capable of identifying the emotional and symbolic components in each individual's unique story, promoting self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.
