When kids can’t find the words, the sand tray speaks for them in play therapy sessions.

In this week’s podcast episode, we’ll look at how sand tray therapy taps into the implicit memories stored beneath language —

The attachment patterns, emotional imprints, and unspoken stories that surface symbolically before they ever become verbal.

If you’ve ever felt goosebumps watching a client create a scene that “says everything without saying anything,” this one’s for you.

✨ Let’s nerd out together about how neuroscience helps play therapists understand how healing happens inside that little wooden box filled with sand and miniatures.

Join me and I’ll share how your theoretical lens using neuroscience and attachment theory points the way toward deeper understanding of the power of the sand tray in play therapy. I’ll also discuss three ways using the sand tray in play therapy helps children heal.
