Like many other parents, I’m sure you are prepared for a lot of things when it comes to your child. Scraped knees, fevers, colds, maybe even a broken bone. All things that are stressful, but also things that you know how to handle. But now you’re faced with something that’s different. Something that feels scarier, more unfamiliar. Your child is struggling, they’re in pain. However, this pain is an emotional one and can’t be fixed by a band aid or a quick trip to the doctor. No one talked to you about this and now you don’t know what to do.

If you, or someone you know is going through a tough time, talking to someone is one of the best possible things you can do. One of the advantages of talking to a counselor is that they do not know your friends, your family and they do not have opinions about how you should be living your life. It can be easier to open up and tell me things you might not tell other people. You do not have to worry about being judged.

When we honor our inner voice and play to our strengths, we thrive. However, peers, culture and society often show up as voices louder than our own, drowning intuition, and triggering fear. Fear is often described as the "fight or flight" response - fighting back against what's coming at you, or fleeing to avoid it. But there's a third response, to freeze, as in "to be paralyzed with fear." If you feel "stuck" and many people do, fear is probably at the center. At the same time, lifestyle, nutrition, and health history have a huge impact on mental health, and solutions are often easily found in nutraceuticals.

Sandplay Therapists
What problems are best treated with sandplay therapy?
Research has examined this therapy’s utility in young people and found positive results. It has been shown to be useful for those who suffer from autism, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and or aggressive behavior. Children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or trauma have also seen improvement through this therapy. Abused children are often fearful and anxious about their safety, making verbal communication more difficult.
Is sandplay therapy suitable for children and teenagers?
Children and adolescents are good candidates for sandplay therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts, let alone the emotions they are experiencing. Through this play therapy, they will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Is sandplay suitable for adults?
This type of therapy can be useful for adults who have difficulties expressing themselves. People who have suffered neurological changes after a brain injury or because of a traumatic event might be good candidates for this therapy. In fact, anything that has had an effect on the brain, such as substance abuse, can make non-verbal sandplay a valuable option.
Does sandplay therapy work?
There have been studies on the effectiveness of sandplay therapy, and it appears to improve difficult behaviors in children. It may also enhance self-esteem and lessen feelings of physical anxiety as well as hypersensitivity. This type of therapy is based on non-verbal communication and may feel less threatening to the individual.
