You've thought about integrating sandtray with play therapy and you likely find yourself somewhere in between being curious and "self taught" or "learned-by-doing" with some help  from your office neighbor. But.... you're not really sure if you're doing it "right". 

You find yourself questioning how to even start the session, let alone what you should say and when. And all the miniatures and symbols in the tray - what does it all mean? How do you know you're really helping your clients? That they're making progress?  
You wish you had a roadmap. 

You don't know if you should take on another training and modality or if it is even worth it, but you keep hearing how healing and powerful sandtray can be.

You know you need more, but you have no idea what the first step should be. The miniatures? The training? The sand?  You have major sandtray paralysis. And you certainly don't want to take out a second mortgage to fund your sandtray collection. 

​Let's not even start on storage. You definitely don't have feet-on-feet of office real estate to set everything up.

And then even when you DO have everything in place your not sure what comes next.

Yup, I'm talking the exact steps and guides to figure out what gear you need and how to put it alllll together to make sandtray meaningful and healing for your clients. 

And I get it.  It can be so hard to try to assess and connect the dots.  To make sense of what figures are selected, how the figures are placed, and how all of it is even therapeutic. AHH - what does it all mean?
​
It's hard to be stuck in between feeling like you're not doing enough and not exactly knowing what "enough" would even look like.
