Description

Digital natives have been flooding your caseload with interests and ideas that might leave you wondering about how to engage clients.  Speaking the client’s language has always been a top priority for therapists and shifting with our client’s needs and culture is of utmost importance. Add in the complexities of COVID, and we have fertile ground to explore interventions which meet client needs in a multitude of ways. Respecting the client’s culture and language, while nurturing a relationship which provides the neuroception of safety, allows the client to create and express emotions and experiences within.

Along with identifying the therapeutic components, you will learn basic use information as well as a live virtual sandtray demonstration. Benefits of virtual sandtray therapy includes easy clean up, portable, in-person and so much more!

With the virtual sandtray, the possibilities are virtually endless!
