2022 Check-in: Tele-Play Therapy Sandtray and Kinetic Sand intervention

Hi, Everyone, Sorry I haven't done a video in a while. I thought I would jump on and show you that I am still using sandtray on telehealth and a fun little kinetic sand activity to do with your child and teen clients. Kinetic sand is wonderful because you can mold it and it feels great to smush. My clients love to smush the balls of sand after I create them when we are in person. We also may hide things in the sand to find special treasures. There is a "serve and return" connection when we are creating as well as destroying our sand creations. Like building blocks, you can knock it down and always rebuild it, making it better than before. Kinetic sand is calming, regulating and it is a great sensory tool for sensory seekers or avoiders. Using kinetic sand and attunement work like mirroring is just another benefit to deepening your connection and trust with your clients. For more information, check out www.mainlineplaytherapy.com
P.S. I normally use the natural color kinetic sand because the colored sand makes more of a mess and can get into the rugs.
