CONSULTATION

GOAL

My goal in sandtray/sandplay (STSP) consultation is to improve the skill and ability of the witness   who facilitates a sandtray/sandplay session. (See my article, "Aspects of the Sandtray/Sandplay Session", on this website.) As the witness's capabilities advance he/she can become more adept at easing the creator's access to his/her non-verbal world. Then, the witness is positioned to help the creator use this non-verbal information to identify an issue, clarify it, and choose positive actions for his/her own daily life.

SKILLS AND ABILITIES THAT MAY BE THE FOCUS OF CONSULTATION

  • Creating and managing the STSP environment
  • Encouraging silent observation
  • Creating and maintaining "harmonic resonance"
  • Deepening experiences using the reflective/directive technique
  • Smoothly entering the sandtray
  • Promoting language to stay within the sandtray
  • Improving language to ease inquiry and exploration in the sandtray
  • Expanding the creator's modes of experience within the sandtray
  • Cultivating skills to shift the focus from the sandtray to the present
  • Effectively summarizing the session
  • Assisting the creator to apply the new information immediately
  • Exploring specific sandtrays that confuse, confound, excite, or in some way evoke an intense response from the witness
