Calling all trauma therapists!
EMDR, IFS, ART, and other modalities provide powerful tools to help clients process trauma. As trauma therapists, we know it can be crucial to begin trauma work with making sure the client has access to grounding and resourcing techniques. Incorporating the sandtray into that resourcing work can add another element of grounding, help decrease dissociation, and strengthen the visual of those resources for the client.
This mini course lays out 4 different resourcing techniques that can be done in the sandtray. The presenter has a background in EMDR and approaches the subject from that framework. Depending on your training, you can incorporate Bilateral Stimulation to strengthen the resources. Even if you are not trained in EMDR, these activities can complement other types of resourcing and trauma work.
(Due to this being a mini-course designed to give you some quick ideas to enhance your therapeutic work, it is not currently approved as an official Continuing Education credit)

About Leah Schwarz, LSCSW, LCSW, RPT
I was introduced to sandtray therapy in 2015 when I was an intern therapist, and have been using it ever since. I have almost 8 years of experience incorporating the sandtray into my practice with clients of all ages and have attended multiple trainings offered by different sandtray therapists. I love how the modality can complement a range of theories and styles. I have found that using the sandtray in sessions has truly helped clients understand themselves and their worlds in a different way and can help empower clients towards change.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. I am trained in EMDR and specialize in working with perinatal mental health, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have worked with clients of all ages, but have found my passion in working with teens and adults.
