Sandtray

What can you learn about yourself by playing with figures in a sand tray? Sandtray is a highly effective and increasingly popular form of play therapy. In the Czech Republic, it is already successfully helping children with behavioural and learning disorders, people with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression or anxiety, those coping with loss, or simply those seeking keys to self-discovery and personal development.

“Play is an essential part of our lives. If we cannot play, we cannot truly live. Play allows us to connect with our consciousness and examine a given image in a safe space. And the author shows us exactly how to do this in this book. She lets us look over her shoulder into her 'sand tray'. And the image we see there is definitely worth it. Let's go and take a look. “
—Martin Galbavý, child and family psychotherapist
