Symbols and themes that emerge are often related to unresolved, distressing issues from the past or present. This type of therapy allows both adults and children to access and express feelings without the problematic involvement of defense mechanisms that may hinder traditional talk-therapy. Your therapist will hold the space for you during this work, providing safety as your process unfolds.

Using this method of therapy, clients feel secure to discover what is blocking their progress towards wellness. With the guidance of the therapist, clients gain insight into their emotions and move towards the possibility for healing. Similar to how the body heals itself under optimal conditions, your psyche is able to move towards healing during beneficial, deep sand work.

Here at North Star, we understand that this may be a new type of therapy for our adults and children. We will offer all of the guidance and support you need to utilize this innovative and exceptional therapeutic technique.
