Sandtray With Children
Learn How To Do Sandtray With Children
Working with children in the sandtray can be powerful—but knowing what to notice, when to step in, and how to respond makes all the difference. This mini course gives you practical guidance for using sandtray with children with more confidence and intention. You’ll learn how to support the process without taking it over, better understand what may be unfolding in the tray, and walk away with strategies you can bring directly into your next session.
All About Themes in the Tray
Recognize What Your Client’s Tray Reveals
In this self-paced mini course, you’ll learn how to recognize, interpret, and gently explore the themes that appear in your clients’ trays without overanalyzing or missing the meaning. Through real examples and clear guidance, Amy helps you connect what you see in the sand to what’s happening beneath the surface.
