My Essential sand table

As an Art Therapist, a sand table is an indispensable tool, offering a highly effective therapeutic instrument for expression.

This image suggest a child’s expression of boundaries through a distinct line of scorpions and snakes separating her and her ‘heart’ from the other side, and the people on it. This demonstrats an impressive level of understanding and meaning.

Play serves as an expressive and unconscious outlet until the child makes their thoughts visible.

I am also able to note the child’s ability to provide herself with essential needs like water, shade, and a house in the desert showcases her coping skills and inner strength.
