After the sandplay is completed, the child/young person and practitioner undertake collaborative sense-making. By making changes in their sandplay world, they often feel empowered to make similar changes in their real world.
In the webinar, Dr Sunderland will present moving case material showing how supporting children/young people to communicate through sandplay can enable transformation. She will demonstrate how using sandplay to process painful past experience, can result in the child/young person’s inner world becoming far more benign, devoid of persecutory figures, catastrophic fantasies, harsh images, negative self-talk, emotional bleakness etc. In short, sandplay can be a key facilitative tool in trauma recovery resulting in living with your mind in peace instead of in torment.
