Quoted From: https://www.aliveholisticcounseling.com/sandtray-therapy

""In this current age and time that rushes toward the future, the simplicity of Sand[tray] provides a space for contact with the inner, symbolic world. A basic premise of Sand[tray] is that psyche possesses a natural tendency to hear itself given the proper conditions. Similar to our physical wounds that heal under beneficial conditions, the psyche has an instinctual wisdom that emerges when able to operate naturally.
"Sand[tray] is "hands on" psychological work and is an adjunct to talk therapy. It is a powerful therapeutic method that facilitates the psyche's natural capacity for healing.
"In a 'free and protected' space provided by a trained sand[tray] therapist, the client creates a concrete manifestation from his or her imagination using Sand, water, and miniature objects. In this way, Sand[tray] helps honor and illuminate the client's internal symbolic world, providing a place for its expression within a safe container.
"With sufficient time and understanding, a Sand[tray] experiencing can lead the client into layers of experience that are pre-verbal and long forgotten to the conscious mind. Through the tangible emergence of personal and archetypal symbols in the tray in a safe environment, the client moves toward a sense of balance and wholeness.""
