Sandplay therapy is a non-verbal therapeutic process based on the psychology of C. G. Jung. The contents of the psyche and the path to individuation, as understood by jungian psychology, become visible in the symbolic expression of the sandplay. With sandplay therapy the individual is able to penetrate the depths of the personality and experience the Self. From this ground, a more balanced relationship between the ego and the Self manifests. When this occurs, one then is able to live life in a more conscious authentic way.

With sandplay therapy, miniature objects and symbols are used to make pictures in small sand trays. By using symbolic imagery to express what cannot be put into words, unconscious feelings and attitudes are expressed, allowing the conscious mind to become aware of what is unreachable with words. The process releases internal pain, connects thoughts and emotions, develops a deeper sense of Self, and provides a platform for psychological transformation and spiritual awakening.

Symbolic language is a powerful and profound way to communicate with the inner world, and with intimate partners. Dr. Morena often uses it  with couples and groups, as well as with individuals who are engaged in deep psychological work.
