August 2024 Week 3

Take a breath with me . . .

The first half of August has come + gone.

We have lots of new roomies who recently joined us! Let's give them a warm welcome to our amazing group! You can comment and share some love on our Sandtray Suite Facebook Page:)

Let's also take a minute to reflect on all Lidia has encouraged us to think about and remember..

And maybe you're up for a challenge?

As someone who loves to use directives with my clients, it was nice to be reminded that directives aren't necessarily needed!

Some people like directives, others don't - depending on the therapist and the client.

So, Lidia + I challenge you to try a sandtray WITHOUT a directive (of course if you already go through sandtrays without directives, take this challenge as a pause for you to create a sandtray in your own time and space).

Whether it's with a client or yourself (or both!), we challenge you to just be present with the sand and see what comes up for you through the building process.

It's helpful to have a guide with rules and prompts, but it's also equally helpful without any of those and to just be in the moment. Your body and mind will guide you and show you what needs to be revealed.

Here's to a restful Monday,

Amy
