Episode 17 – Sand Tray Therapy: The Stories Beneath the Surface
In this episode of Holding Space, Julia explores the quiet depth of sand tray therapy—a practice that helps children, teens, and adults give shape to emotions that words can't yet hold.
Through real-life examples and gentle neuroscience, she shares how sand and symbol become a bridge between the body and story—offering safety, distance, and expression. You'll learn what happens in a sand tray session, how meaning emerges through micro-shifts, and why silence, pacing, and presence matter more than interpretation.
Because sometimes, healing begins not with talking—but with placing one small figure in the sand, and letting the story unfold.
