Sand Tray Therapy
Adults who have been traumatized, or who cannot express their emotional state verbally or through other cognitive means of therapy, respond well to this non-verbal form of therapy. The environment presents an atmosphere free from threats, violence, and retribution and the clients are capable of acting out any scenarios that present themselves. The therapist works with the client to alter the positions of the miniature objects as representations of the true people and events. By beginning to facilitate change on a fictitious level, a client gains the courage and ability to recognize that these same changes can be made in their own life. (From GoodTherapy.org)
