Grounded in the humanistic tenants of Carl Rogers and Estelle L. Weinrib, this workshop examines the integration of sandplay and sandtray therapy within play therapy practice. Participants will explore symbolic expression, sensory engagement, and nonverbal communication as therapeutic processes in play therapy. Emphasis is placed on play therapy conceptualization, therapeutic relationship development, and the therapeutic powers of play. Experiential activities will provide participants with hands-on sandtray experiences to deepen clinical understanding and application. 🖋️Sign up today at https://counselorinstitute.com/training/
