“The hands know how to solve a riddle with which the intellect has wrestled in vain.”

C. G. Jung

Integrative Sand Tray Stories

Integrative Sand Tray Stories is a projective, dynamic, symbolic and sensory model of psychotherapy. Using a sand tray, sand, water and symbols, the client is enabled to bypass their thinking, logical and analytical brain, facilitating the safe unfolding of their unconscious conflicts. The sand tray story therapist’s atunement and unconditional acceptance of the clients process, enables the development of the client’s sense of agency and psychological healing.

Quish (2022)
