The session, titled, “Telling Life Stories: The Power of Symbols in Sand Scenes” will be offered to mental health professionals from IPCF China – Integrated Psychological Training Center for Child and Family on June 30, 2023.
Dialogues with symbols in a sand scene is a powerful way for clients to tell their stories, from very young children to elders. When we activate the imagination of both client and counselor, symbols become a third presence in the clinical session, giving voice to experiences that cannot be spoken. When clients engage with symbol stories, new layers of their experience emerge.
This session is an introduction to Narrative Sand Therapy© and how an existential perspective, process hypnosis, symbol amplification, active imagination, and wonderment can activate client stories and deepen the therapeutic process.
