We offer a lot of sandtray therapy trainings at Hope Roots Collective! Here are some of your questions answered:

  • Why sandtray therapy - what's the big deal?

    • Sandtray therapy is a hands-on, experiential modality that goes deeper than talk therapy, allowing the subconscious to speak through placing miniatures around the tray and moving them around.

    • Sandtray provides a sensory healing experience! Trauma is often stored as sensory/body memories, and a sensory-based modality can help unlock the pieces needed to help heal.

    • Sandtray therapy is cross-theoretical, meaning it can work alongside many different therapy modalities (EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, solution-focused, etc.)

  • Who benefits from sandtray therapy?

    • Anyone! Although it's generally taught in play therapy programs, the healing powers of sandtray therapy extend to adults. Even adults who don't typically "play" can find meaning in a sandtray session.

  • Do I need to buy all kinds of miniatures to do sandtray therapy?

    • Not necessarily! Although it can be fun to intentionally collect miniatures over time, a small starter set is fine! People can attach meaning to what they have available, even if it's hand-made or nature items.
